    Oh, my bad. I didn’t realize the parents were all experts in education and also made the rules and could even change reality to fit their whims.

        Says the person doing exactly that.

        Like it or not, parents don’t own children, nor do they have an absolute authority over them.

        If parents abuse or neglect their child (and yes, depriving them of an education is both) then the other responsible adults in that’s child’s life have not only every right, but the absolute responsibility, to override the abusive parents’ instructions or demands, and intervene in the child’s best interest.

          Then take the next step and vote to get those kids taken away, if you think it’s that much harm.
