>JUDGE REDEFINES ROLE OF PARENTS: (American Family Association
>Journal, September 1996, page 9) It's official. Public schools are
>now the parents for our children, at least according to a federal
>judge. Federal district Judge Melinda Harmon made that determination
>in a Texas case where a child was questioned by Children's Protective
>Services (CPS) officials without his parents' knowledge. During that
>interrogation, the boy was forced to strip so a female CPS Worker
>could check for signs of the paddling the boy's parents allegedly
>administered. When the youth's family found out about the case, they
>immediately filed suit against the school district. In finding for
>the school district, Judge Harmon ruled that "parents give up their
>rights when they drop the children off at public school."

Take the fly out of my soup,
shake the scorpion from my boot,
and get the government out of our schools!
