[quote=Anonymous]Really OP? Teaching kids about empathy is somehow bad? Do you think we shouldn't teach them about charity too? Maybe we shouldn't tell them about suicide or poverty or sexual abuse because it will "give them ideas". It's amazing to me that somebody could criticize a program that is teaching our children how to be better human beings. I've got news for you about your anecdotal example of self-harm: nobody would engage in self-harm unless they were feeling pretty damn awful. Nobody will keep a child from learning about self-harm unless the kids are locked in a basement with no contact with the outside world. You cannot protect your children from information and the thought that this information gives them harmful ideas is ludicrous.[/quote]
