| Abstract: | Everyone assumes that children in Canada have a right to an education, but is that the case? In common parlance, when people say they have a right to something, they mean it in the sense that they ought to have a right to something – that their interests in a particular instance are strong enough that they warrant being protected by a legal right. They are talking about moral rights or natural rights. So what about the legal right to an education? Do children indeed have one? |
