We've never heard (at least in the 17 years I've been on the Board) a persuasive argument against doing it this way.
If parents don't like it, they can join the Board and work to change it or they can put a sock in it.

I find that to be a very persuasive argument, backed up by significant personal experience. Hard to argue with that.
Thank you for contributing to my education.
