    FP,

    Yet and still, what they consented to is not what actually happened. That is, to me, a breach of trust and an extinuating circumstance in favor of the parents.

    1. You're right. Not everyone can be a school board member. Everyone can, however call, write, or e-mail their school board member. Everyone can also show up at the board meetings and address the school board.

    2. Yes. They can vote too.

    3. Agreed. Let's watch this get appealed and overturned, just like the majority of this fruitcake court's decisions are.

    Overturning this idiotic ruling will not destroy that.

    I highly doubt that the SCOTUS will overturn their Meyer-Pierce rule. This rule, based on two SCOTUS cases, says that parents have the "first" right, not an "exclusive" right. At best we can hope that the SCOTUS claims that the Meyer-Pierce rule does not apply to this case, but I find that to be wishful thinking.

    What the SC will overturn is the declaration that parents have no rights to control what their children will be exposed to at school. That is idiotic (as is most liberal ideas) and will be overturned.

    That may be so, but it will not be done with this case. The parents did not provide evidence for "why" their rights were violated, only that they "were" violated. The SCOTUS will deny cert. Take Wisconsin v. Yoder, for example, the Yoder's argued that their 1st amendment right to free exercise of religion, a religion their children were subject to, was violated by Wisconsin school districts without due process of law. If the parents, in this case, have any chance of going before the SCOTUS they need better lawyers, more versed in constitutional arguments.

    Man. I work late and miss all the bitter and cynical commentary. Shoot!

    I think the parents in this school district need to be asking the right people just what their tax dollars are paying for. Not everyone can be a school board member but everyone can vote? Um well does *EVERYONE* actually know how to get something on the ballot? Prob not. Which is why you should have paid better attention in school Gina.

    No please dont leave this thread. Let's leave the 9th and their cracked pot decisions and the flair in the dramatic commentary about all that is wrong with this world in one spot.

    C4K..never advocated that tactic, just saw a small opening that someone would likely use, had they the chance.
