A Right to Counsel? Courtside.
Zirkel, Perry A.
Phi Delta Kappan, v77 n7 p513-15 Mar 1996
Describes a suit against the East Lansing (Michigan) Schools, brought by conservative religious parents dissatisfied with counseling, music, and conflict-resolution activities provided for their third-grade son. The plaintiffs' action failed. The Hatch Act has limitations. However, there is strong public sentiment against entrusting schools with activities extending beyond academics. (12 references) (MLH)
