“1. That a parent demanding their right to be present if police want to question their child triggers prosecution”
I don’t have an issue with that. They way I see it, if a parent sends their kid to a public school, the school can do whatever it wants - as public schools answer to politicians, not parents. The only thing wrong here is the parent sending the kid there in the first place - should have known better.
“...that college applications don’t ask if the person has been convicted of a crime but whether they have been charged with one.”
This one I don’t like. It’s like asking if the kid has ever been in a Walmart - it’s none of their damn business.
I think the bottom line, in this case, is that they strongly suspect that the kid knows where the money came from and he’s not squealing. They want him to sing.
I think it was the police that wanted to question the kid.

Oh, and “the school can do what it wants”???? Like strip search your 14-year-old girl, without letting you know or have the mother be present?
Get a grip. Its called “Law AND Order,” not just “Order.”
As a parent you are with a school doing whatever they want to a child because it answers to politicians and not parents? That’s bizarre.
A lot more parents would be able to afford private school if they weren’t forced to pay taxes to support public school.
