Don’t parents today inform their children not to cooperate with those in authority who overstep their authority?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Children start government school at the age of 4 or 5. How do you teach a child ( in the case of this article, age 6) to be assertive in the face of government power?
You tell them that you don’t let strange people pull down their underpants and examine them and that includes school personnel — you know, “good touch, bad touch.” You tell them to say NO and and that you will back them up if school authorities complain to you about their noncompliance. If they feel uncomfortable about something, such as this incident, they should not comply. You let them know that school personnel are not the ultimate authority in their lives.
