Transcendentalism to American religious conservative organizations like this teacher is a part of is pretty much all about disassociating from all feeling in order to improve and become a more productive human.
Of course, on our side, transcendentalism is about understanding feelings&emotions, where they come from, and the process of healing from emotional pain inflicted during childhood in order to prevent passing our pain on to other people in order to become a more productive human.
When we respond point and laugh at emotional disassociation, the other side is only going to get enraged because emotional disassociation is "the truth" towards some form of improvement. We need to better articulate why disassociating from emotions isn't better because simply pointing out that the child's emotional needs aren't being met doesn't mean anything when emotional disassociation is truth to these people raised in these institutions.
(just to be entirely clear, I agree with you wholeheartedly, big picture we just need to understand where the person you're replying to might be coming from in order to articulate an argument that has some meaning to the other individual)
