Reply #33: If the school won't show the speech

[sandnsea]

and the parents want the child to see it along with the rest of the country, they've got no choice but to keep their child home. That's a huge difference than a parent who keeps their child home when they can simply tell the teacher to send their child to the library during the speech.

But since you are willing to pay money to send your children to a school that so blatantly disrespects the country, and not say a word about it to them, I can see it's useless to try to point out the real hypocrisy here.
