>>And parents are helpless to control what movies their children watch.<<

Sometimes, they are.
First some parents put kids into daycare. They have no control over what the kids see. A good daycare, they are watching Sesame Street and Disney. A not so good one and it’s Jerry Springer and Oprah.

Now, the kid goes to school. Teachers control what those students see. Be it “An Inconvenient Truth” or “The Story of Stuff”. The kids go to daycare after. See above.

A couple years later, the kids are old enough to stay home by themselves. Cable, internet, free reign.

We make choices. Personally, I chose to be in control of my kids from birth. At 12 and 14, they have yet to see an R rated movie and anything over PG, I view first. We watch them together after I’ve seen them and we discuss.

Any daycare showing Sesame Street and Disney is NOT good.

But I get your point.
