Obviously, the choice of the school to avoid the interests of the child is questionable, but perhaps they hold the position that the school inherantly isn't the sole party of responsibility in educating the kids, therefore they stipulate the conditions of being yoked to the parent.
Another concern exists. Obviously, God doesn't need do-gooders. If the school is instead acting out of the desire to promote human good over God's will and substitute their authority en lieu of God's, then a different issue arises wherein the school is guilty of a sin similar to Satan's 'I will'.
We're to give no place to the devil, but the environment doesn't cause sin, although it might promote it.
In God's plan, it's amazing how even the evil is allowed to act upon evil to display His perfect judgment. Even if both the school and the mother are in the wrong, there might be a grander test at hand to display His magnificence in the daughter.
Way to go, you just taught this child a very valuable lesson!
I am sorry and apologize to my fellow Freepers. This is a very sensitive issue with me. Because of something simular as I was growing up, I did change my religion to Wicca.
My two daughters are very Christian and I drill them constantly to teach them those lessons. But for me, the Church drove me away and I simply can not be a part of that culture.
That is a personal burden, but one that I must with.
Please be very carefull with children. You may be teaching them the wrong lessons, in your efforts to help.
