The children-are-smarter-than-their-parents myth is a communist insertion into our government indoctrination daycare centers combined with programming in media. Think back on how tell-a-vision and hollyweird incessantly promoted that, every show, for years. Then recall government school degrading religious beliefs and presenting all past as primitive or ignorant. It's a purposely crafted attitude, because telling someone how smart they are actually opens then up to suggestion- you're super smart and this is what smart people believe. (Not think, mind you- BELIEVE)
