This, then, is the crux of the reasoning. These questions about the claim then follow: Are such concerns valid? Is there evidence for this claim? Does the concern justify a blanket policy or is there a way to judge such risk, if there really is any, individually? Is it the TMEA's legitimate role to judge this risk or is it more properly the school's or the parents' or even (gasp) the student's?
