The school policy that does not allow taping without the students' permission more than makes sense. Would you want your student being taped while in class or while they eat lunch or any other time without their permission. No, of course not.

A student in class or at lunch is not at a public meeting in which parents and students are invited to attend. Totally different, but your use of straw-men is well developed and I assume you knew that.

Parades, games and plays are very different. By participating in each of those, you are implicitly giving your consent to be watched and taped. Participation in classroom activities and small optional assemblies is very different and the school policy is there to protect the children.

This was a school wide assembly that was advertised and well attended. Not a classroom activity nor a small optional assembly.

Your response is going to be that taping this and exposing it is protecting the children.

No, but thanks for playing. By asserting what my response would be, you set up your next argument. I do not care, in fact, if this was detrimental to "the children" or not. Nor have any of my arguments centered around that.

Well perhaps, but the parents of the children involved had every right to a) stop it before it happened, b) attend, c) lodge a complaint after the fact. Taping it was simply not necessary and contrary to public policy.

They did not have the right to stop it before it happened. They did have a right to attend. They did have a right to complain. However, without evidence of the proceedings, those complaints would be easy to dismiss.

What if Bill wanted to know what went on at his childs assemble, but Bill was going to be away on business. Could he not have his wife Carol tape the "open to parents" assembly so that he could see what was going on? According to you, he should be happy with any notes she took.

Balderdash.

This was a public meeting, in a public place, with minors (including children of the parent involved) invited. The restriction on video at this event leads one to believe that there was an effort to curb the legitimacy of any complaints that would be offered afterwards.

But thanks for playing straw-man challenge. Here is a nice parting gift.

The mother was taping the public display not the children who were being indoctrinated in the audience.

Mothers and Fathers have to learn that it is not enough to pull children out of the school. That is what the homosexuals want. It marginalizes those children and parents.

Those children who become indoctrinated to the pro-homsexual recreational sex lessons are a danger to ALL children.

If the sodomites want to teach children how to perform sex acts then it should be done after school and OFF campus for those parents who want their children to grow up into homosexuals.
