The following excerpt is from R. v. Jones, [1986] 2 SCR 284, 1986 CanLII 32 (SCC):
42. I do not think that is the case here. The province cannot, in my view, be faulted for adopting the philosophy frequently applied in the courts of the United States, namely, that "The courtroom is simply not the best arena for the debate of issues of educational policy and the measurement of educational quality"; see State v. Shaver, 294 N.W. 2d 883 (N.D. S.C. 1980) at p. 900. If in the exercise of the power, those making the decision act in a way the appellant believes violates his rights, he can raise the issue in the courts.
