Driver's licenses are for driving, not for visiting school classrooms, not for renting videos (that's the one my mother went ballistic about, many years ago). And I'll be darned if you're going to keep me out of my kid's classroom for not showing you a driver's license.
People who don't drive can get free state-issued ID. It's not absurd to ask adults entering a school to show ID. Video stores may have found that adults who are responsible enough to maintain a driver's license are more likely to return videos or at least be more easily tracked if they don't.
