Cute, very cute. lol

I'm about as concervative as they come. I'm amazed how I'm portrayed as some ex-nazi, just because I have the audacity to think kids need to learn the value of following rules. Right or wrong, it's still a good value to learn at her early age.

excuse me ... I didn't mean to imply ex

Let's do apples to apples. What would your stand be if the rule in question was that kids at that High School were not allowed to engage in a different legal behavior, say driving?

Why don't you think school boards need to learn the value of following rules?

I have the audacity to think kids need to learn the value of following rules.

18 is the age of majority legally, and thus no longer a kid. A school acts 'en loco parentis' legally when a student is on the grounds or on school-owned transportation to or from school. A school cannot enforce that role in the place of parents on adults away from the school grounds. Those are the rules.

Which rules do you want her to follow? The state rules, the federal rules or the school rules?

Recognizing a tin-pot dictator like the school administrators is at least as important as 'learning to follow the rules'.

Rules are not rules if the rule-makers do not have the legal authority to make those rules.

I have the audacity to think kids need to learn the value of mindlessly following rules, without questioning the legal basis and legitimacy of the rule's origin

There I fixed that for you.

It seems you have difficulty with the simple concept of 'no controlling legal authority'. So I've an example for you:

"I, freeeee, do hereby rule that excalibur1701 must wear a monkey suit while doing 50 pushups every day for the next 73 days, twice on Thursdays but not on Mondays. Failure to obey my rule will be punishable by 122 lashes with a wet noodle."

When you figure out why you don't have to obey that rule, and why I can't lash you with a noodle for disobeying, you'll know why the public school has no standing in this case.

As a conservative, and considering the sad state of our schools today..I'm surprised you support this. Schoolboards have no business trying partnership with parents..in this manner.
