@GottaLaff How pathetically sad that parents seek to impede their children’s education….. why rob your children like that, I do not understand….

@morganalafee @GottaLaff

MAGA voters want their own children "protected" from realities like extraordinary young poets like Amanda Gorman AND prevent YOUR children from learning about her too.

Fine if they want to pretend reality isn't real for themselves, but they do not have the right to impose their ideology on others.

@Npars01 @GottaLaff I am interested in the idea of MAGA parents being so interested in the “protection of their children innocence”….. I wonder if they are more “control/authoritarian parents”than “protection parents”…. Power is a dangerous thing……????

@morganalafee @GottaLaff

George Lakoff describes conservative parenting as "Strict Father" ideological authoritarianism.

In such an environment, controlling the flow of information to women and children is a critical function of maintaining patriarchal control.

Information asymmetry requires withholding data. It's used to keep power & control.

@Npars01 Oh wow, hadn't thought about Lakoff for a while. Have liked what I've read of his, but ought to read more.
