The policy does not stop any lifestyle changes, it simply says the parents have a right to know what is going on at school and not be the last person informed."

"They picked the wrong parents to fight with," she added. "These are our children and we love them, and we care for them, and we are not a danger to them, and we will make sure that is known, and we will show our children that we will not be submissive to unlawful ways to shut us out."...
