Parents guide the education of their children, or at least they used to. Yes, with rare exceptions, the state had to step in, but only for the safety of the children. Today, however, it seems we’ve handed over decision-making about your children’s education to so-called “experts.” What happens when the goal of these “experts” differs from those of the parents? In a conflict between parents and the state about the education of children, who wins? A recent case in U.S. District Court shows that government actors not only believe they know better, they are more than willing to act in loco parentis tyrannis.
