Thank you for this! I know how insidious this emotional/mental/physical abuse is of children, and I am SO ASHAMED of America that we did, and still are, doing this to our CHILDREN.
Please, please let's email and physically mail this to school administrations EVERYWHERE!
Thank you again for writing another article!! The line . "A child forced to suffer will internalize among other wonderful life lessons that suffering isn’t such a terrible thing. " I would say learning to suffer is actually a good life lesson and very much a part of life; but suffering for a lie is not good. Forcing children to suffer and watch others suffer becomes child abuse when it is done for perverted reasons: such as children must suffer in order to alleviate adult's fears, adult's unwillingness to stand up for them, ....all the reasons you listed. Just thought it might be a good clarification?
Thanks for the comment - I really appreciate when people offer well-meaning criticism, and I wish more people would do so :)
You are right - suffering - or adversity - is critical to building character. No person ever achieved genuine greatness without in large part growing through adversity. And like you pointed out, it is absolutely crucial that children learn this is the reality of life (on an age appropriate level). So yes, I will have to clarify this :)
What I was trying to refer to is the basic moral intuition that we possess that suffering at its core reflects a part of our existence that is intrinsically a manifestation of an evil or darkness -- the instinct (normal) people have to alleviate suffering when they see it derives form this. The point I was trying to make was that we are desensitizing children to the "badness" of pain that lies at the core of our moral and emotional intuition to stop and prevent it from happening - which is devastating for the development of empathy and kindness that are crucial for relationships as well as being a "good" human being; and ultimately can lead to being desensitized to gruesome torture and executions.
And suffering for a lie is definitely conveying a whole range of really bad lessons :)
I read the first third or so but can't focus on it now and want to so i will
Read it later. Your writing is concise and accurate and more importantly brings out your points well. With which I agree, makes you wonder, when weren't these persecutorS never children themselves?
So I see you want an editor. Again, although I don't think you need one, if you wanted to run the program by me before you publicate I am willing to read and make a suggestion if there's a small correction of typo or other error it is easy to miss in these days of spellcheck...first they came for my grammar
I wouldn't want to make any significant change in your anti viruganda writing, I think if it makes you feel more confident I can have a go to proof read...
I just hope you don't end up getting someone giving you bad ideas, your writing stands on its own and I've not seen anything requiring correcting.
If its not a huge time commit I can give it a go if you wanted, since you keep asking...
I also want to note, eventually, we will see the result of Red state kids going to school normally, no masks, and Blue state kids, being forced to mask for 2 years now.

I also want to note, eventually, we will see the result of Red state kids going to school normally, no masks, and Blue state kids, being forced to mask for 2 years now.
I just found this article, thank you for speaking up for the forcibly masked. The repercussions of forced masking will be seen for decades.
The kids may have a better understanding of what is happening than adults, but then we get older and forget, because it is dangerous...
I know someone who got a shot when he was 17, he said it is to help others...he wanted to do his part
Haven't heArd from him for some time, of course I suspect the worst knowing he was jabbed
At the time I had only been able to say I myself wasn't going to be getting one
I'd say much more now but who listens?
My cat. Luckily I can talk to my cat
I grew up in ten sets of foster homes
Mom would call up and scream at me until I cried. Good times...
