Sean,
My daughter also went through the Barrington schools. and I would have fought this issue the same way the Blacks did, by simply not participating.
The Blacks position asking that their daughter not participate was taken to the next level by the school administration, not by the Blacks.
Society figured out long ago that children do not rationalize good from evil the same way an adult does. We have the established rating system in our theaters for a reason, even for works of art with powerful social messages.
As to the constitutional argument, I think that freedom of speech was what the Blacks were practicing when they elected not to participate.
I trust you weren't suggesting in your letter that the Blacks should have been denied their right to not participate.
