You insulate kids from the world's political leaders, let alone one from your own country, and you encourage ignorance and obedience -- not for people to think for themselves.
Parents are setting up their kids to be robots, I swear. Economic roadkill for the next generation.
The fuss is that parents are turning to denial politics to shelter their kids from the world, even in cases where it's completely to the benefit of their own children.
The big deal is that this is the informational equivalent of parents denying their children access to necessary health care, like some key immunizations, because they think modern medicine is bad voodoo.
