All these things happen to children all the time. Should the govt. interfere?
I guess I deserved that, as I strayed from the original question about parents having a right to not have a school to which to send their kids.

My answer is that if parents feel they can better educate their kids than the government, then yes, they should have that right. I wouldn't do it, but I don't think the government should not allow it.
