Pete,<br><br>While I agree that it neccessary to teach our children to respect authority, it is also our responsibility to teach them to question authority when it conflicts with their morals/ethics/common sense/good judgment/BS detectors/etc....<br><br>My comments earlier were a knee-jerk reaction; further reflection has lead me to believe that it would still be a valid choice FOR ME. A more reasoned, rational, moderate response would be to boycott the camp, making [censored] good and sure that the camp administrators knew why. This has the benefit of being the high ground, and the significant disadvantage of being a no-win situation for the child. Thoreau and Ghandi would approve, Jefferson and Washington would not. There, as others have pointed out, is a middle ground somewhere in betweeen. You pays your money and you takes your choice......<br><br><br>Take care,<br><br>Andy
