- jff 14y agoChildren in general are not given as many rights as adults--they lack the right to vote, to bear arms, etc. It's not just schools, and it's not necessarily wrong.
- zem 14y agoyes, it's not necessarily wrong, but it tends to end up that way unless you are careful to justify things on a case-by-case basis. it's all to easy to end up at "no, you cannot do this, because we say so and we have been given carte blanche to infringe on your rights".
