http://parentalrightsus.org/In a recent article of the Fairfax (VA) Times [1], a school board candidate wrote, some members of the School Board argued the schools duty in loco parentis to stand in the parents place essentially means that parents rights over their children end at the school door. No parent in Fairfax County would agree.
You probably wouldnt agree, either. Unfortunately, the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals already has. In its 2005 case Fields v. Palmdale [2], the court held that the parents fundamental right does not exist beyond the threshold of the school door.
