I don't understand. It's a valid example of how people are prejudged for interest and proclivity at a young age.
It was neither an indictment of the author's parenting nor an inherent indication to an underlying bias.
- js8 9y agoOK. But just don't go there, please, for whatever reason. I honestly hope these issues won't evolve into a society that takes children from their parents under assumption that they are bad parents because their children are showing some "wrong" bias. And sadly, I don't see it as a complete impossibility.
- settsu 9y agoI see. As someone living in the U.S. with children, I neither feel nor observe indications of this as an imminent danger. If anything I'd posit we've faulted much the opposite direction. A history of stubborn individualism, regardless of the harm it may inflict on others or society at-large, and fear-mongering against anything that resembles socialism—however irrational and countered by existing programs which are rooted in its very concepts—all but insures against it any time soon. I can't disagree with the possibility since history supports that—and the general tendency for humanity to demonstrate such a low regard for itself would unfortunately be also—the probability seems low.
