I hope my article shows that Caplan is a tyrant who has no idea what freedom means. He presents himself as someone who cares about freedom, as this reasonable guy who wants a balanced approach, but his primary concern isn’t freedom at all. Instead, he wants to *grant* freedom on *his* terms: do math for 2 hours and he will grant you freedom for the rest of the day. He wants to prescribe predefined goals and assuage parents’ guilt for using coercion. His concern for *parents’ guilt* rather than *children’s freedom* betrays him. IfWhenever someone from the 1860s hadshowed concern for the guilt slaveholders felt for whipping their slaves, you’done immediately knowknew whose side they werethat person was on, no matter how much theyhe pretended to care about freedom.
