No, this is a breach of privacy and can damage trust with the child, unless the child has a 504 plan.

 @B87GTW2 from Texas  answered…8mos8MO

A parent shouldn't be able to completely dictate the information the child receives, but the child should also be getting an unbiased, purely informative education by the state.

 @B8872LK from Texas  answered…8mos8MO

I think information should be released generalized and should have the option to get more information over teaching materialso they are wll imformed too but it should have limits as children and stuents should not be shelded from real world crisis

 @B87J95W from Texas  answered…8mos8MO

Accessing records and teaching materials is fine, the part about control over the child is too vague.

 @B84HYF3 from Texas  answered…8mos8MO

Yes, but parental control should not extend beyond their child and limitations should be placed on situations involving abuse

 @B83WXC6 from Texas  answered…8mos8MO

I think it depends on the age and condition of the student.

 @B83J5FS from Texas  answered…8mos8MO

if its common sense, it should not be acknowledged.

 @B7ZQCJY from Texas  answered…8mos8MO

Yes but only for the child’s guardian not just the parent

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
