We've got to stop crafting a special world for children that is disconnected from the adult world. We should be moving in the opposite direction, lowering the voting age for example, allowing toplessness in appropriate places and allowing children in non-sexual adult spaces when with a guardian (like bars). How have we not yet learned that repressing kids is counterproductive?

To create well-rounded human beings who don't grow up with weird issues around nudity and drinking, for example. And who feel like that have some skin in the game and are actually part of society, not victims of it.

Religion… it makes certain people think the world is full of bad people. While there are bad people, the vast majority of people are good people. Our policy here is to protect the children from X. Whatever X is at the time. Right now it’s wokeism.
