[October 30, 2015] If you’re thinking about not sending your children out for Halloween tomorrow to gather a few treats (there are no more tricks it seems) then go no further than Ammo Grrrll’s1 article on resilience in children and adults. One of her points is that the more we protect children from getting dirty and sick, the more problems they have as adults (see link here).
What she also suggests is that adults that have grown up being protected from any idea, word, speech, or conversation that might be considered controversial may have the opposite and unintended effect of generating long-term societal problems.
“A couple weeks ago, I opined on the horrendous damage to our language and our freedom by the cossetted SJWs and Pajama Boys who are allowed to have speakers disinvited, CEOs fired, and entire subjects closed because they feel ‘unsafe.’ Everyone around them is forced to respond to “microaggressions,” a meaningless synonym for ‘nothing.’” – Ammo Grrrll
SJWs2 and Pajama Boys3 … you can’t make this stuff up … too funny. I highly recommend her article.
Oh, please send your kids out to Trick or Treat tomorrow.
