For some of the decisions these boards make, outrage happens to be the only rational response anyone who cared could possibly have. If they were crippling my children for the rest of their lives, I wouldn't get up in front of the room and drone on in monotone about how there are more reasonable choices to be made. No one could do that in full confidence that it could work even some of the time, nor do anything but react when it was proven to you that it didn't ever work.
As for ideology, I doubt it's possible to be non-ideological. I have children not because they are accidents or the abortions my wife didn't bother to have. Not even because we just didn't know any other way to go through life. We had children because children are a good thing unto themselves. So good that I hope they grow up to have their own and enjoy that experience. Schools are hostile to that and seem to be doing what they can to encourage sterility.
