This is the same argument that groomers use. The idea that trying to insulate kids from the harsh realities of the world, or to create a little bubble of childhood innocence, is somehow “weak” and a “disservice” to kids. That somehow we aren’t “equipping” them for the future, or that we are “threatened” by “truth” and that we are refusing to “empower” children by shielding them from adult content. It all comes down to the same thing: the insistence that we treat children like little, autonomous adults, and the purpose of that is all about age of consent, and getting it as low as possible.

We reject all of this nonsense from its very foundation. We think childhood is supposed to be a time of protected innocence and carefree separation from adult problems like bills, jobs, wars, geopolitics, sexuality and sexual fetishes, pharmaceutical malpractice, propaganda, corruption, etc. Kids have their entire teenage years and adulthood to realize all of this but when they are young, it is completely normal and natural for parents to not want to dump all of this on their little minds when they should instead be focused on things like sharing, making friends, navigating their emotions, learning how to read, playing sports, brushing their teeth, dressing themselves, etc. You don’t grab a five-year-old and start pounding their head with trans gender pronouns and Holocaust atrocities just like you don’t pound them with 9/11 was an inside job and the history of the Khazarian Mafia. It’s all too much for them at that age. Just let them be kids!
