Exactly. The party of small government has one goal. To make government buearacracy so big and slow you throw your hands up in frustration and not participate. So then they can come in and saw only they can fix the mess they created and only make it bigger.

Yet another reason I'm glad this state has a public online school program that I could put my daughter in. No permission slips ever. Even if they do have an (always optional) "field trip," it involves a parent taking them to a location and staying there with them.

Specifically, the point is to create so much dysfunction in the public school system that it eventually collapses. Then, they can instead fund Christian Madrasas instead.

Haha, haven't met many that know that movie.

Eh, part of the rating system is to prevent you from fucking up someone else’s kid, and part of it is knowing your own child.

You’re not allowed to sell an R movie to a 10 year old, for instance. But their parent can come in and buy it for them no problem.

And honestly, just because a movie is rated R, doesn’t mean your 10 year old can’t handle it. You likely know your kid best. But you also know that while they can handle Aliens, they shouldn’t watch Zach and Miri Make a Porno for obvious reasons.

It’s a balancing act that only works if the parent is paying attention though.

Well these days it's probably either or...

Rooting for ya, bud.

But also even if you are explicit and specific, regressives will try to ruin your life directly and via stochastic terrorism.

I don't think that would cover the modern rage about anything parent

As with most legal matters, it depends: https://www.copyright.gov/fair-use/index.html

Purpose and character of the use, including whether the use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes: Courts look at how the party claiming fair use is using the copyrighted work, and are more likely to find that nonprofit educational and noncommercial uses are fair. This does not mean, however, that all nonprofit education and noncommercial uses are fair and all commercial uses are not fair; instead, courts will balance the purpose and character of the use against the other factors below. Additionally, “transformative” uses are more likely to be considered fair. Transformative uses are those that add something new, with a further purpose or different character, and do not substitute for the original use of the work. Nature of the copyrighted work: This factor analyzes the degree to which the work that was used relates to copyright’s purpose of encouraging creative expression. Thus, using a more creative or imaginative work (such as a novel, movie, or song) is less likely to support a claim of a fair use than using a factual work (such as a technical article or news item). In addition, use of an unpublished work is less likely to be considered fair.

I don't know many schools willing to bother finding out whether the use was fair.

All published information is in the public domain unless a specific, copyright exemption temporarily applies to withhold it.

You sure about that? In the US, the creator of a work has automatic copyright over it, whether it's published or not: https://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-general.html

If you meant something else, or there's a modifier to your claim here that I'm not seeing, maybe you could clarify?

We're actually discussing educational purposes and fair use in this thread:

So far, the consensus is "probably"
