I'll plead guilty to that; the story came from the father. But religious or secular, the views of teenagers do not generally prevail over the views of their parents, absent actual abuse or neglect. If I had a 16-year-old son, I could send him to boarding school or public school, or make him move with the family to (who can I insult here?) Los Angeles, regardless of his "views" about the matter. Teenagers and their parents are not equal parties in family decisionmaking, and I don't think I know anyone (other than teenagers, I suppose) who thinks they should be.
