Who's in charge at public schools?

Quote of the Day: Lexington, Mass., Schools Superintendent Paul Ash

"We couldn't run a public school system if every parent who feels some topic is objectionable to them for moral or religious reasons decides their child should be removed."

-- Superintendent of Schools Paul Ash of Lexington, Mass., responding to complaints about a Lexington teacher who read a book about same-sex marriage to a class of second-graders. He was quoted by The Boston Globe.
