- cgranade 17y agoWhat scares me is the kind of review that will likely happen isn't going to be one that emphasizes the rights of schoolchildren, but that emphasizes how schools should modulate their activities to stay within the letter, if not the spirit, of the law. For anything substantial to change would require a fairly fundamental reexamination of the role of the school system in the private lives of students.
- steveklabnik 17y agoChildren's rights are one of those funny things... kids can't vote, and nobody's going to win against parents' frothing mouths about how they're not 'keeping kids safe' and other grandstanding shenanigans. I wouldn't expect much to change.
