content: I think the point is more or less that it is a slippery slope once you implement these policies. If you don't think someone will take advantage of this in some way, shape or form, you might be a bit naive. Also, these policies reinforce government overreach into private institutions (I know this is in Canada and not the US).  On a side note, I think that the government sees children in the public school system as children of the state and that they don't actually belong to the parents. If you keep that in mind, these policies make sense.
