I have to say I agree with both sides of the argument. Parents should keep quiet and maybe learn the rules but I don't think it is too much to ask for the refs to know the rules as well. I could go on and on with examples but I don't really want to take the time. I found that particularly at the high school level, some referees were very ignorant of the rules. Also, it does not help that when the "older" refs who can't keep up with the game act as though they rule the world.
