This is precisely why we have a bunch of screwed up kids. We have taken adversity out of their lives and replaced it with a false sense security. This is part of the same trend that promotes children when they should be held back..and rewards them for failure. Or when anything bad happens we have a parade of "grief" couselors that come to the rescue. Is it really any wonder why we have kids shooting each other? We've taught them that adversity doesn't exist...and that anything that might offend them is an assault against them. Instead of "sticks and stones may hurt my bones"...Words have become weapons. Liberals have literally created a socialist utopia that doesn't exist outside the classroom, so when these kds enter the real world, we see even more violence as they can't handle the adversity. This isn't preparation for the real world...it's preparation for a dream world that liberals are trying to create using our youth as guinea pigs.

Which, in turn, takes the whole "thinking for yourself" and "maikng decisions for yourself" concepts out of a child's development; thus creating a lifelong childish dependence and loyalty to "the authority". The present authority is the school (not the parents)...who knows what it will be in the future. They ARE being groomed for socialism/communism. Its sick.
