Liberties for kids in school are already pretty restricted. They have to attend classes whether they like them or not, they usually have to follow a dress code whether it suits their personal style or not, a lot of French schools (including the one my son attends) make it difficult for you to bring your own lunch from home so you either go home for lunch every day or are forced to eat in the cafeteria, with limited choices on offer...when it comes to restricting liberties, this is one of many and it seems to me pretty low on the totem pole of essential liberties.
