Infantilizing Citizens

The world has officially gone insane. The inmates are not only running the asylum, but the courtroom as well. I can't bring more children into this Big Brother/Big Moron society. Whatever happened to context? Whatever happened to common sense? Whatever happened to letting children be children? We are producing a nation of scared little automotons who will be unable to think beyond anything they haven't been explicitly told to think and unable to create the new products and services we must create to survive in the coming century. This is truly scary.
