[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 377794, member: 1169"] I think that a parent's right to raise their child is sacred. To interfere with that right should require extreme circumstances (proven abuse, extreme neglect, etc). We ALL censor things from our children. I'm sure none of us have discussed our sex lives with our children, allowed our preschoolers to watch R-rated movies, etc. Just because someones censorship line is in a different place than the majority does not make it wrong. And from a legal point of view -- it isn't censorship; censorship is when the government blocks something, not when parents or even private institutions do. There are people raised with wonderful values that are not raised in mainstream culture (eg. Amish) and there are people raised in mainstream culture that are bigoted and immoral. Exposure to everything isn't necessary to develop tolerance and compassion. [/QUOTE]
