"That's how it works in the public schools. One parent complains and whole policies have to be overhauled and transformed to appease one parent."

Exactly right. And the same people who would complain about this would be the first to approve of 1 parent complaining about...oh...lets say creation being taught in some Southern school system where 99% of the rest of the parents wouldn't have been bothered by it at all. Or, 1 parent complaining about "under God" being required to be recited by children when reading the pledge of allegience. All it takes is 1 parent to complain from either side, meanwhile the schools keep dumbing down their curiculum to avoid any whiff of controversy.

Politics is almost nothing but hypocrisy these days. I hate to be so cynical, but I really have come to believe that principle almost means nothing anymore to anyone - it is all about whose agenda can be advanced.
