Did they ask the taxpayers whether to start war in Iraq? No, the elected president and Congress had the responsibility to command the military and protect the country, and they made this decision. Much as I dislike it, I still don't think these questions should be decided by a referendum. Same way, teachers have the responsibility to tech science to kids, but the taxpayers don't get to decide what is science and what isn't. If the voters think president is wrong, they can elect another next time. If the parents think teachers are wrong, they can complain to the director, or if the director holds the same opinion, leave for another school.
