Perhaps because she is a taxpayer, and her taxes paid for the public school assembly?

Mmmmm... no. Nothing in there about being a taxpayer -- just being the mother of a student...

The ACLJ lawsuit contends that school officials deprived Loveless of her parental right to be fully informed of the content of her daughter's education.

... who's educational content did not include these assemblies.

Mmmmmmm.
Curioser and curioser.

Nothing in the article about the mother being alive either.
But I would risk a wild guess that most non-deviant readers (correctly) assume that the mother is alive.

So, you know for a fact she is not a taxpayer? Even if she doesn't own property, it's a sure bet any sales taxes paid by her or her family contributed to some form of public school expenses. BTW, what is the functional difference between an assembly and a classroom? Don't they both require mandatory attendance by students by default? Do public school assemblies generally let children decide their attendence as optional?

Being a taxpayer does not need to be a label given by the author of this article, it is a fact. She is a Mom AND a taxpayer.. duh...

She may also like to see what the "powers that be" think is an appropiate assembly for the kids to see. Considering they are deciding what the children learn, she may like to know about their judgement, and what is so important to take time away from learning something valuable.

Would you say the same about a parent who wants to visit a daycare where their child attends, however, isn't present on said visitation day? What if a parent was kicked out of that institution? This taxpaying Mom had every right to be there and see first hand what is going on.

BTW don't say if she is a stay at home Mom she doesn't pay any taxes. My husband pays enough for five people so i can stay home.

But it would be appropriate for her to view the assembly to see if she wanted to stop her daughter from seeing it in the future.
