A legal question

That is cruel! Intolerant! Absolutely against the international treaties of chess players' rights applicable in the vast majority of common law jurisdictions.
Which country is it? The ministry of education should be brought to the judge and be fined with 10000 FIDE-approved GT2000 chess clocks for the chess community. And I prefer the brown color with white buttons. Oh yeah, don't forget the AA battery.
Can the Education system be sued for cruel and unusual punishmnet for having schoool during the semifinals of the candidates matches?
