It is the future of the student, not of the parents, that is imperiled by today's decision as discussed by the authors, and it is the student's judgment, not his parents' that is essential if we are to give full meaning to what we have said about the Bill of Rights and of the right of students to be masters of their own destiny.Abstract:
It is the future of the student, not of the parents, that is imperiled by today’s decision.
