Unfortunately, homeschooling isn’t always the answer. Have you seen some parents, some are alive only because breathing is an involuntary action.Government (communist) indoctrinaters don't care what your opinion is, they will do as they see fit. If they won't follow your preferences for something like this it's easy to imagine that they won't for anything else. The preference slip is just pabulum to make the masses think they have a choice in their child's education and activities.
I'd be pissed, pissed enough to do what we do...home school. Flock government indoctrination centers.
