Default Re: 9th Circuit Decision Regarding Children and Sex

[ QUOTE ]
I believe that schools should abide by the morals and principles of the community in which they reside. Let the parents of that school district decide what is appropriate and leave it out of the courts.

[/ QUOTE ]
In general, I agree.

What if a school conducted a survey about how often kids think about watching TV?

[/ QUOTE ]
This is not even close to comparable.

[ QUOTE ]
Should a parent have the right to sue the school over that survey?

[/ QUOTE ]
I think they have the right to sue. Doesn't mean they are in the right.

[ QUOTE ]
that parent should have the right to bring the issue up in a PTA or school board meeting, and to force a vote on the matter.

[/ QUOTE ]
I agree. The one thing I worry about is the slippery slope. At what point does parental objection overrule the state? Or can the state "teach" children anything it wants and be free from any redress? If the state wanted to teach kids exactly how to have safe sex and had them pair up and [censored] each other, wouldn't parents have no right to object to their kids doing this under this decision? Where's the line?
