Do Berserker Mass Murderer families have a right to brainwash their children to believe as they do? (See the Silver People.)
Do Fascist families who love Hitler have a right to brainwash their children to believe as they do?
Do those weird peculiar religious sects have a right to brainwash their children to believe as they do?
Do Republican families have a right to brainwash their children to believe as they do?
Does any family have the right to brainwash their children to believe as they do?
Is there a line?
Where is it? Why?
I'm thinking "NO!" to ALL and I'm trying to make the best effort that I can to let my children decide for themselves in a manner they came up with by themselves. If they conclude I'm an asshole, fine - so be it. They'd have to get in line behind me.
Isn't it a duty of parents to teach their children how to detect bullshitters, charlatans, scammers, liars, brainwashers and such as best they can? They need to know not only how to see, but how to quantify the relative egregious activities in this country. There is no one on earth who has not at one time bullshitted, performed some kind of charlatan act, scammed, lied and such. The question is who has been the most egregious at it.
But - ALAS! - "most egregious" is something that is unique to each family.
To answer your question, Taq, my answer is an emphatic NOT IN ANY WAY AT ALL.
