Didn't say anything about the government. I was referring to your comment:
"Children are not given the same rights as adults, so there was no choice for this child...and there shouldn't be either. Children should listen to their parents and school administrators or suffer the consequences, period."
This kid was going to a prom so had to be in high school. Kids of that age are capable of thinking and deciding for themselves. Asserting that they should obey authority and not make decisions for themselves is the kernel of fascism. They should have a say in how their schools are run and should be in dialogue with their parents, not 'listening to their parents, period"
