Circular reasoning. That's like saying it's impossible for a gun ban to affect law-abiding people, since anyone with a gun in violation of the ban is by definition a criminal.
I have a friend who told me that daddy's little girls grow up to be bigtime b!tches. Now I know why.
Instead of asking for permission to move to a different seat, or starting friendships with students near her regular seat, daddy's little girl will be taught to be a spoiled brat who demands special treatment.
"She had an assigned seat, like everyone else. Everyone else seems to have followed the rule, she didn't. She was punished. And now, her whiney father is bent on teaching his little precious some seriously bad life lessons."
Rosa Parks had an assigned seat too. No one complained about the seating policy on Montgomery busses until one brave soul refused to accept an unreasonable policy. I think the young girl should be commended for her independent thinking rather than chastised for being treated in a manner befitting inmates in a prison.
I think he is teaching her valuable lessons for citizens supposedly at liberty to freely associate with whomever they desire.
