I'm not going to quibble over whether or not Minor == Child. There's no real answer there. One is a legal construct and the other is a social one. I just don't personally know anyone who would call a 17 year-old a "child." But if you want to, have at it. You're allowed to be wrong.
Just out of curiosity: when do they become adolescents, or young adults, if they remain "children" until after secondary school?
For the record... I don't have a problem in the world with parents trying to control what kind of books their kids are exposed to in school. I just don't approve of them attempting to control what books EVERYONE'S kids are exposed to in school using legal nuclear options. It's presumptuous, and it's overreach.
