This issue was settled by WV State Board of Ed. v. Barnette. I fully expect this to be decided in favor of the student's position. If there is some rule that parental permission is required, it seems to me that this matter is one that could have been solved by a phone call, letter or email.

One would presume that an attorney and at least for sure one in the position of Attorney General would be acting with an interest to protect the freedoms expressed in the Bill of Rights and out of wisdom, whether inherent in his position or out of professional experience. "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise" (or at least those who ought know better.)
