[quote=Anonymous]All of the examples he cites are indeed ridiculous instances of parental helicoptering except one rather shocking one: why is he so contemptuous of parents pointing out the need for better lighting on parts of any campus, even one that’s very safe? As others have noted, though, the tone is incredibly off-putting. This line was ridiculous too: “In a country where so many social sadnesses are the consequence of irresponsible, neglectful parenting, one cannot fault those who love their children to the point of overprotection.” “Social sadnesses” is not how I would describe the country’s terrible gun violence situation, nor the entrenched poverty in parts of every state, nor the opioid epidemic, just as a few examples. And I’m sure there parenting failures are a factor in many of these tragedies. However, so are social policies including many pushed by Republicans, especially those that focus on financial policies benefiting corporations and rich families. [/quote]
