I’m team Judy but you do you![/quote]

I agree that problematic material goes over kids' heads if they're not ready for it.  I read Jean Auel in grade school and didn't really think anything of some of the content at the time.

Santa Claus is not above kids' heads, though.  He is right at the level of 4, 6, 8 year olds.  [/quote]

From the article:
"A lot of people will want to control everything in their children's lives, or everything in other people's children's lives.”

I really feel like other people are trying to control my kids with respect to Santa - that I really have to keep up a lie for other people. [/quote]

I'm sorry that a PSA about a book makes you feel so attacked.  [/quote]

The PSA specifically called out the author for being Jewish.  It was an obvious attack.  [/quote]

No, it was not an obvious attack.  It was noting that, possibly because of her lack of direct experience, Blume did not/does not seem to understand why this is an issue.  [/quote]

Sure.  [/quote]
