No, it's not your "job" to care about the feelings of the other children in your kids' class. But does that mean you're required not to understand that they HAVE feelings - just like your kids do - or that you're REQUIRED not to have any empathy for someone not related directly related by blood to you?
I wouldn't want a kid who'd bullied my children to attend my child's birthday party, either...and I doubt my kid would want that. But no one is requiring you to invite that child. They're merely telling you that if you are going to send invitations with your child in his/her backpack to school, to be passed out in class, there must be invitations for all of the children in class. If you want to invite only a select few of your child's closest friends, it's up to you to figure out a way to do so, even if it requires a bit more work on your part.
Following the rules of an organization or place in which you are not the person who MAKES the rules IS "your job."

Equality of outcomes is NOT an American value.
Good point. You life style
So that would make heaven a place with....a lot of naked people holding big bundles of cash in their arms?
I gotta get religion! I mean, the only way this could be any better is sans the clothes....and carrying a large pile of greenbacks:

I believe that he who dies with the most toys....is still dead. If you're a Christian, I'm told God isn't much impressed by the trappings of worldly wealth.
And if you're not, I can pretty much GUARANTEE you the worms aren't particularly interested in the thread-count of the suit you were buried in.

No, it's not a "random decision." If it were, uuroseygirl (on the west coast) and myself (in the Atlanta area) wouldn't both have already heard of it. My children's school does this, as well. And though I've never asked, the prevalence of this particular rule leads me to believe that in many places where it's been implemented, it's been because some child DID either inadvertently or purposefully let his or her classmates know that invitations were going out....and that not all were invited. Probably - I'm guessing - it happened more than just once, too, in order for them to make a blanket rule about it. But "random?" No.
Either way, though, the operative word here is "rule." Still not quite sure how you manage to square ignoring or overlooking that fact by talking about how it's not your "job" to have any sort of feelings for anyone not directly related to you.
