Kind of funny how some “conservatives” love to rail in favor of parental rights...until other parents reach a decision they don’t agree with.
The parents have a right to tell me that I, as a teacher, have to take care of their child 6-8 hours a day, but if she should happen to have an issue arise that puts her in immediate danger of dying, all I am allowed to do is push her into the nurse's station and back off?

I believe the parents made the wrong decision (both with the DNR and with sending her to school) but I'm not going to use my sense of moral outrage to pull a Hillary and declare I'm going to make decisions for the family.
