Nope, they just straight up say they think kids should learn to go to school sick because they expect adults to go to work sick. I'm always amazed at school boards who show any distinct lack of evidence that they were intelligent enough to graduate HS themselves.
Of course, once it gets to the court system, the traditional inequalities will show themselves and the families with means will be fine and the families from marginalized communities will be further marginalized.
