This is a great point. Awesome in fact. I know kids from some of THE most conservative households that have come to me and told me what they watched at a friend's house.
The unfortuante thing is that we are stupid to think we can keep the world away from our kids. We need to partner with them, instilling in them, integrity, character, and the ability to make a tough decision in the face of ridicule.
I do not want to stand between my kid and the world, I want to stand WITH my kid in defense and representation of what is right.
It is kind of a teach a man to fish type principal...
Restrict a kid and he will be compliant for a day
Teach the kid and he will be responsible for life.
