Rangie, I live in a very politically correct area with a lot of rich folks. They essentially run the schools in my part of the county, and spend oodles of time volunteering in the front office and in classrooms of certain age groups. But it isn’t just here in this county. It’s everywhere.
Last year, I was called to the office of a school in another county. My 5 year old had worn her new dress to school 3 days in a row. Being the child “experts” that they are, they were utterly alarmed that this child was wearing the same outfit. But you find all over the internet AND from professional child therapists everywhere that allowing a child a certain amount of control over what they wear (among other things) is imperitive to the developing self-image of a child.
They couldn’t simply call me. I had to come in for a meeting with her teacher and the school counselor. This shit is way out of hand. In the rabid society of the Politically Correct, being “correct” has replaced common sense. They didn’t even have the good sense to ask me if her dress had been washed (it had been). They ARE teaching children to “turn in their parents”, but that isn’t quite that intent they have in mind. What they want is to prevent child abuse.. They are required by law here in Georgia to turn in even a HINT of child abuse, even in the case of 5 mllion 5 year olds wanting to wear their favorite outfit.
