Yet another old-school bullying campaign, amplified by Facebook.
Yet another old-school bullying campaign, amplified by Facebook.
Responsible parents monitor and control the information their kids can access--websites, movies, music, etc. I think a more reasonable approach here would be to advocate for a mechanism in libraries to allow parents to review and control what information their own children have access to, but not others'. (If that doesn't already exist?)
(I am not going to dispute this further with you unless you want to provide something more than a shallow dismissal.)
So religious indoctrination of children, in this case? I don't know why that's considered to be OK. Children should be left alone to choose if they want to be religious and which religion best fits them when they're old enough.
Responsible parents teach their children to evaluate whatever they may encounter.
Controlling and monitoring neither helps them deal with the real world once they are unsupervised, nor does it work.
Parents should monitor the challenges presented to their children, ensure that the challenges are level-appropriate, and provide feedback to their kids to help them develop the mental frameworks they need to deal with the real world and its complex decisions. This is an iterative, gradual process.
No, it’s not. They already have that liberty. This is them trying to take control of the values other parents are instilling in their own children, and attempting to replace them with the group’s values. There’s no liberty in it besides the lie they put into the name.
