Imaginarydana, your vote for others such as Rock Camp to decide what's best for your child is noted. Hopefully, you will always agree with their choices.
Mark B., I agree on both the apparent lack diligence on the part of the mother and then her run to the media rather than the school. And, of course, I certainly do not read "Rock Camp" and automatically think, "offensive materials included." Somehow, I doubt that the school would market itself that way (btw, their website does not give any clues of the materials, but I suspect their lawyers will change that soon).
Is it too much to ask for disclosure so that parents can decide? Can we at least admit that the reflexive, "What's the big deal?" view only works if we always agree with everyone else's choices for our children, or at the very least, have no qualms at all about the materials to which our 8-year-olds are exposed?
