Default OT again: Parents could be fined for missing school meetings

I'd like to suggest that in the context of purely good intention, the
distinction between "right or wrong" is of considerable importance.
Would you have your state and your schools teach otherwise?


Can't teach "right and wrong," as we know. Can teach the concept, but even
there you have to select your analogy carefully. Ten commandments bad,
Supreme Court decisions good, as long as they support the most vocal
faction.

Aren't "rights" about the end rather than the means and "obligations" about
the means to the end? Of course those would _never_ be the inalienable
rights granted by The Creator....
