Why is it only the political left that gets to define what things are sufficiently not-to-be-discussed? Many of the comments here follow the same pattern: an assumption that there's an authority that is universally correct (the mother, in your example) and someone lesser-than that simply needs to be corralled into not questioning it. What if we, instead, approached these issues as though both sides are intelligent adults capable of discussion? We don't need to be condescended to because we asked if we should push to the "master" branch.
