I was speaking about consent forms with a physician friend of mine. We came to conclusion they are complete bullshit - you could always get them for whatever you want by just abusing the information asymmetry and framing the questions. I doubt that there forms are much more than legal covering ass. Depending on the place in the US by asking - don't you want to know if your kid is surrounded by gays/muslims/junkies/conservatives/random boogiemans/ in school - just sign here you probably could get them easily. So it is a weak protection at best.
