Oh, and they can complain all they want. And be ignored, too. No one has the right to be heard. If the local school board (probably elected) says the policy stays, it stays. And you can stop leeching my tax money to provide an education your kids don't deserve (that's a rhetorical "you")...
BTW, I teach in the public schools, and would like nothing better than to see them abolished. Education is a privilege, not a right (regardless of what the Warren Court said). But, so long as they exist, don't whine to me because you are too selfish to sacrifice your third car or widescreen cable TV in order to put your kids in a school with policies you like (another rhetorical "you").
