When I listened to news clips of the Q&A, I was struck by the arrogance of the school district's positions. An underlying assumption was that the parents don't know much and the educators are the experts. The dismissive attitude was evident when their lawyers flippantly said that if parents don't agree, they can just send their children to private schools. It must be a very wealthy community for that to be an easy option. Then again, why should taxpayers feel forced to use private schools? I wondered if parents were represented on the school board or included in curriculum decisions. Silly thought given the attitude displayed.
The short life of humans hurts the memory of the past as history repeats itself almost 100 years later for the same issue (pierce vs sisters of society)

The birth certificate and social security number transferred ownership to the state for your child, just like the license plate does on your car.
