To me the scary thing about this mindset is that Wilonsky seems to think todays 12 year olds aren’t and shouldn’t be innocent.
I read an album review today, the reviewer wrote that the band needed to have more drug addictions and more broken relationships so they could have an edge.
This is something I have noticed about the progressive left, if something isn’t steeped in dangerous living and immorality, it’s naive and worthless.

I think you’re right on target here. This movie reviewer’s nastiness speaks more about his own shortcomings and those that may exist in his own household, then it does regarding home-schoolers across the nation, who are more obviously and very publicly proving that allowing a child to be a child is much more healthy for the child and the family than otherwise.
I couldn’t care less what some talking head on tv thinks about what would make my 12 year old happy. What I do care about is whether or not the Good Lord is pleased with what I’m doing and how I’m raising my children.
For a nation that likes to speak with pride about rugged individualism I am always privately amused by the numbers of people who react viscerally against home-schoolers. It’s rather pathetic on their part. It serves to expose the Communist gulag mentality they feel comfortable with.
What band?
