kiruvwife: Why can you mandate such things? Is it their right to or not? If you’re arguing that because of their circumstances they can mandate such things, maybe it’s time to re-think the power we give the schools. You yourself said schools don’t have the right. Why should we allow them to forcibly take the right? I understand that you might not want your child associating with children who watch TV. Well, if a child is encouraging other kids to watch TV, you’d have a case. First, see what happens. I grew up with a TV in my parents’ house, and I barely discussed it with anyone growing up. I never influenced someone else to watch TV. So why wouldn’t I be allowed in a Lakewood school nowadays?
