Schools have damn near unfettered power (Constitution notwithstanding) to regulate students while they are at school and doing school stuff. Searches, abridgment of speech, etc. I think the power afforded is overboard, but that is the state of the law. But this was a kid entirely on his own time. How can the school (state) regulate that?

I must be a really bad parent.

Public schools are part of a system that is controlled by Leftists. The more concerned a parent is about the education of his child, the more likely he will pay the price to have the child educated in a private school. Not only will the child score higher on his SAT, the right private school won't indoctrinate him to be what we now refer to as a "snowflake."

Schools here are hardly controlled by leftists. Texas includes creationism in science curricula.

Setting aside whether that is good policy (and I mean that - set it aside, it isn't the point in this thread), you can't say Texas schools are controlled by leftists.

It's not for lack of trying, though.



Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Oh, yes, I'm convinced that the public school system in Texas is a bastion of conservative values. You bet, sure I am.
