This is the absurd next step in the helicopter parenting debacle. Don't let them play outside, don't let them take, god forbid, any 'risks', don't let them fail, or be disappointed, protect at all costs. One of my most treasured memories is letting my son and his cousin, who were 12 at the time, swim across Walden Pond (they're in their 30's now so they survived). I was on my own at the pond with a younger sibling and there were other swimmers so I wasn't completely out of my mind. Watching them make it across and sit on the opposite bank, tired and victorious, just the two of them bonding over their adventure is one of the best memories I have of them together. The Covid policies created an entire generation terrified of air. Kids can only grow up into thoughtful, critically thinking adults if they experience challenges - physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual and be given the space to sort things out with the help of an adult who will listen not simply tell them what the 'right' answer is. This attack on jokes/comedy/speech is just another prong on the pitchfork of censorship.
