Some of you are reading the holding that there is "no constitutional right" of parents to control curriculum to mean that parents have "no right" to control what there children are taught.
Parents have every right to control what their children are taught. In the voting booth, on the school committee, at the PTA, and in individual teacher conferences. Worse comes to worse, they can take the kid right out of school.
They just can't enforce their rights as a constitutional protection. If I want my child taught intelligent design, I have no constitutional right to demand that. I have a political right to fight for that, but if I loose, there is no recourse in the courts.
The strict constructionists among you, including the starter of this thread, should be pleased as punch with this holding.
