This is a highly partisan and very underhanded article. It posits that "Conservatives" believe this, yet the article's source is: "According to one school-board member, children could “become spoiled.”".
Literally one school-board member said this, and now a broad brush is being used to insinuate that this is a widely held conservative viewpoint. Then they decided to trot out an "expert" in order to debunk this one person's opinion.
