It constitutes child abuse and leaves the child unsocialized and socially autistic.

“Post-modernism is when a people forget all of the lessons of previous generations and start painfully re-learning them.”

By way of example, this phrase:

“Offering kids the opportunity to pursue what they’d like, freed from societal expectations, is an undeniably positive thing”.

I always considered societal expectations a normal part of human existence and to remain some kind of framework for behaviour, regardless of specific content. Then again, a Supreme Court Justice [I think it was Kennedy] did once write that every person’s right included the right to define his or her own concept of existence, a sort of metaphysical declaration of war.
