Moses, just as a basic tenet of capitalism is this "if you don't like it, buy somewhere else" option, at a minimum, parents have this option. Yeah I know, I don't think much of this dodge on the part of capitalists and its resultant assertion that some commercial venture will provide a healthful and appropriate and responsible alternative. But in this case, the primary option (before we get into your right to home-school, or your right to use private schools), the public school system, is YOUR system. What the court did in this case is push the decisions down toward you. You are a good parent and intelligent and active. I imagine you will indeed exert all necessary and appropriate control over how your children are handled in a public school system (if that is where they are or will go). I'd be very surprized if any parent ever is placed into a situation where they cannot control the content, or even the existence of their child, in a sex education course. In the instant case, the parents had every opportunity to control that. This decision DID NOT say that a child MUST participate in such-and-such a study.
