>Curfew, the law that says you can't be outside after an arbitrarily dictated time.

We had curfew laws in my country too.

Mostly during German occupation, under World War II.

I'm amazed people in the "land of the free" even have such a law...

Curfew laws are mostly aimed at children and don't apply to adults.

Would you draw parallels between the government legislating that 'school-aged' children must go to school and the US decreeing that all Japanese people on the west coast must go to internment camps? Probably not.

Sure, why not? It's a little worse with the Japanese people case, because of the racism involved, but on the other hand, it was an era of war between the two countries.

Byt curfew for children? Even children aged 14 or 15 years old? That's no business of the law.

Yep, I'd draw the parallel too. Why do you think it's ridiculous?

[baddox]

I would draw that parallel.

And I would take all the downvotes for doing so, too, that you may be spared. :)

As someone who had to go to school, yes I would.

[alexeisadeski3]

Absolutely.
