RUSH: This is a fascinating, fascinating piece. It\u2019s right up my alley here, and I\u2019m surprised that this piece got published in Newsweek — and furthermore, that it was put on the PMSNBC website. The woman who wrote it is Paula Spencer<\/a> who lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and I can\u2019t believe she will last there very long after having written this. ‘We Protect Kids From Everything But Fear — With hand sanitizer and long-sleeved swimsuits, we\u2019re teaching our children a dangerous lesson.\u2019 This is in the April 2nd issue of Newsweek, by the way. ‘Four 11- and 12-year-old girls stood in front of my open pantry, mouths gaping wide. ‘Look! Fruit Roll-Ups!\u2019 ‘Oh, my God! Chocolate-chip cookies!\u2019 ‘You have regular potato chips? We only get the soy kind!\u2019 After 14 years and four kids, I thought I\u2019d feel comfortable as a mother. Instead, I\u2019m increasingly aware of a prickly new sensation: that I\u2019m some kind of renegade. <\/p>\n

‘Who knew that buying potato chips would become a radical act? Or that letting my daughters walk home from school alone would require administration approval? How did I, a middle-of-the-road mom, become a social deviant? Fear is the new fuel of the American mom. If it\u2019s not fear of her child becoming obese, it\u2019s the fear of falling behind, missing out on a sports scholarship or winding up with a thin college-rejection envelope. Apparently I\u2019m not nervous enough. Last summer while I was loafing in front of the TV with my kids, the most benign things morphed into menaces. For example, the sun: long-sleeved, UV-protective swimsuits were all the rage at my neighborhood pool, while I could barely remember to bring the year-old sunscreen. The water wasn\u2019t safe either: at the beach I saw tots dressed in flotation belts and water wings — for shelling along the shore.\u2019 They weren\u2019t even in the water! ‘And goodbye, cotton candy and hot dogs! At a major-league game I saw moms and dads nix the stuff as if they\u2019d never eaten the occasional ballpark treat. <\/p>\n

‘As if their children would balloon into juvenile-diabetes statistics if a single swig of sugary soda passed their lips. Half my kids\u2019 friends — who already make A\u2019s and B\u2019s — had summer tutors in order to ‘keep it fresh.\u2019 I thought vacation was for relaxing and recharging. What would our pioneer foremoms think? (You want something to worry about, let me show you frostbite, typhoid and bears!) Heck, what must our own mothers think? (Snap out of it! Go worry about something truly scary, like how you\u2019re going to pay for retirement!) I thought that once the kids were back in school, things would calm down. Instead, a fresh seasonal crop of anxiety sprouted, this time over corruptive candy fund-raisers and insufficient use of hand sanitizer. I know one mom who wants to change her son\u2019s schedule because he doesn\u2019t know anyone in his classes; she\u2019s worried he\u2019ll be ‘socially traumatized\u2019 all year. <\/p>\n

‘Another is afraid of a learning disability she just read about, though her child seems bright and charming to me. And then there\u2019s playground panic. I had to laugh when an Australian study recently found that playground injuries continue to rise despite safety improvements. One of the suspected reasons: the safe new play structures are so boring that kids are taking more risks in order to have fun. The fears are as irrational as they are rampant. Recently my children\u2019s elementary school failed to meet adequate yearly progress goals for a particular minority\u2019s reading progress under the No Child Left Behind Act and was placed on a warning list. This meant parents might gain the right to transfer their children to another school in the district. Never mind that this very same school sent more kids to the district\u2019s gifted program than any other, or that this entire district has the highest SAT scores in the state. The day the news broke, six different moms (none in the affected minority) asked me if I was planning to transfer my kids. From neighborhood pride and joy to threat to child\u2019s future overnight. <\/p>\n

‘It\u2019s not that I think parents shouldn\u2019t worry about anything. I\u2019m personally petrified of SUV drivers on cell phones. I fret as much as the next mom about how to pay for college. I pray my kids won\u2019t wander onto MySpace and post something dumb.\u2019 Hey, that\u2019s probably already happened. ‘But you can\u2019t go around afraid of everything. It\u2019s too exhausting! No matter how careful you are, bad stuff happens (diaper rash, stitches, all your friends assigned to another class). And it\u2019s seldom the end of the world. Watching my daughter\u2019s friends ogle my pantry, I realized there\u2019s one big, legitimate fear that I haven\u2019t heard anybody mention: what\u2019s the effect of our collective paranoia on the kids? Yes, these very kids we want to be so self-sufficient, responsible, confident, happy and creative (not to mention not food-obsessed). <\/p>\n

‘They\u2019re growing up thinking these weirdly weenie views are healthy and normal. Walking out my front door that day, each girl happily clutched a plastic baggie stuffed with the exotic kid snacks that my daughter had doled out in pity. I may be a rebel mom, but at least I\u2019m not afraid of a chocolate-chip cookie.\u2019 This is right up my alley. I don\u2019t know whether this woman, Paula Spencer, realizes just how squarely she has hit the nail on the head here. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve seen this. (It\u2019s been floating around the Internet for I don\u2019t know how long.) I\u2019m 56, and it lists the horrors that we survived growing up compared to the attempt to sanitize children\u2019s lives today. Global warming and all of these other political fears get thrown into this mix, too, and it works. I mean, you have little children who can\u2019t sleep at night now because they think that we\u2019re killing polar bears when in fact polar bears are killing panda bears in the Berlin Zoo! (Well, they play a role in it, so it\u2019s said. Details of that coming up.)<\/p>\n

We have all of this paranoia: ‘This is going to cause this! This is going to get you sick! This is going to get you this! This is going to cause that,\u2019 and every day there\u2019s more of it released, and it\u2019s just absurd. So she\u2019s right. There is a climate out there that\u2019s creating paranoia and fear of nature, human and otherwise, to the point that people are expecting that it\u2019s entirely possible to have a flawless existence — one with little danger, one with hardly any disappointment, one with no failure — and we want to shield<\/emphasize> all of our young people from the slightest bit of confrontation, the slightest bit of pain, discomfort, and all of the lessons that life teaches. These fears that are being promulgated by Nanny State liberals are actually stunting<\/emphasize> the growth of young kids. They\u2019re going to grow up and they\u2019re going to become adults, and the fears are going to be realized and they\u2019re going to be passed on, and they\u2019re not going to have the slightest ability to cope with what the real world is really all about once they leave their parents\u2019 house, leave the protected environment of a grade school or what have you. <\/p>\n

This is something that… Now, I remember when it first hit me. We go back to the early nineties, and it\u2019s one of these water volleyball games up on Croton-on-Hudson. I\u2019ve told you about it. It was at Roger Ailes\u2019 house. These were fun events, and we didn\u2019t cut the women any slack. Women and men were on the same teams on opposite sides of the net. Nobody went easy on slamming the ball, dunking it, if a woman was in there. It was water volleyball, and everybody had a great time. There was no problem whatsoever. After one of these things we always had a barbecue, sat around and chewed the fat. Some 26-year-old school teacher, who was a babe, started talking about how we\u2019re pushing kids too fast.<\/p>\n

‘We\u2019re just pushing them too hard. We\u2019re demanding too much.\u2019<\/p>\n

I was appalled. I said, ‘What do you mean pushing them too hard?\u2019<\/p>\n

‘We\u2019re trying to make them learn too much too soon. We\u2019re trying to make them grow up. We need to relax and just let these kids find their own way.\u2019<\/p>\n

‘So what? You want the inmates to run the asylum?\u2019<\/p>\n

‘What do you mean by that?\u2019<\/p>\n

‘Well, you want the kids to tell you when they want to learn and what they want to learn and what they aren\u2019t going to learn and when they are going to show up and when they\u2019re not going to show up, and when they\u2019re going to leave?\u2019<\/p>\n

‘Well, I just think we\u2019re being too hard. We\u2019re pushing them too hard. Our expectations are too high.\u2019<\/p>\n

I said, ‘Expectations are too high? That\u2019s exactly how you get more out of them! It\u2019s when they\u2019re young. Why do you think most people are in school at that age? Because they don\u2019t know diddly-squat and that\u2019s when they have the energy to soak it all up and learn it! It\u2019s when they have the energy to study and do all these things. They don\u2019t have any other responsibilities. That\u2019s theirs<\/emphasize>. They\u2019re too young to go out and earn a living. This is what they have to do. We need an educated society. If you cut back on it, you\u2019re going to create a generation of blithering idiots.\u2019<\/p>\n

It became a knock-down, drag-out. ‘You\u2019re the problem,\u2019 she said. ‘People like you are the problem. You\u2019re just a slave driver!\u2019<\/p>\n

I said, ‘I don\u2019t drive any slaves. I don\u2019t have any kids, but I\u2019m damn glad that my kids aren\u2019t being taught by you<\/emphasize> because every night I\u2019d have to do a little mind reworking after you\u2019d programmed them into a bunch of marshmallow men robots.\u2019<\/p>\n

‘What are you saying?\u2019<\/p>\n

‘You say we\u2019re not pushing them hard enough. I want my kid to learn<\/emphasize>. I want my kid to think — I would want my kid to know that there are great expectations! I want him reaching for heights that he doesn\u2019t think he can get to.\u2019<\/p>\n

‘Well, that sets him up for disappointment. What if he fails?\u2019<\/p>\n

‘We all fail! Are you what you really wanted to be? Have you reached your life\u2019s dream teaching school and telling us that it\u2019s too much the way we\u2019re doing it? Have you really reached your dream? You\u2019re 26 years old. Is that it for you?\u2019<\/p>\n

‘I resent that question. I\u2019m doing this because I love children.\u2019<\/p>\n

‘I\u2019m sure you do love children, but you\u2019re not doing anything if this is the way you\u2019re teaching them. You\u2019re not prepping them for anything other than to be a bunch of softies, and you\u2019re nowhere near getting their full potential out of them.\u2019<\/p>\n

‘Well, how do you know what their full potential is?\u2019<\/p>\n

‘Well, see that\u2019s the basic difference between you and me, because I think most people have far more potential than they realize themselves. Most people have a comfort level, and when they get there, they stop but most people have the ability to go far beyond their comfort level if they\u2019re just inspired and motivated — and you don\u2019t inspire people and you don\u2019t motivate people by acquiescing to their cries and moans that it\u2019s too tough.\u2019 I asked her, ‘How are you at math?\u2019<\/p>\n

‘Well, I\u2019m not the best at math, but I don\u2019t teach math.\u2019<\/p>\n

I said, ‘It doesn\u2019t matter. You know why you\u2019re not very good at math? Because you\u2019ve been told that math is tough for women, that women don\u2019t do well in math. So you probably didn\u2019t pursue it. Who says women aren\u2019t any good at math? That may be statistically true, but you could learn math if you wanted to, if you had somebody make it interesting to you. But you fall for all this stuff, and now you have these kids falling for all these things, ‘We\u2019re pushing them too hard,\u2019 and so forth.\u2019 <\/p>\n

This is a problem. It\u2019s exacerbated now, and it\u2019s been amplified I don\u2019t know how many times, to where life is nothing but a constant fear<\/emphasize>, a constant fear of the food we eat, a constant fear of the cars we drive, a constant fear of the barbecue pit and what it\u2019s doing to the environment, a constant fear. When you\u2019ve got the essence of innocence, these little skulls full of mush who are primed to soak up as much as they can, when all you\u2019re putting into their heads is fear<\/emphasize> and paranoia and all those things based on lies — like they are killing the polar bears (or worse, their parents are) — I\u2019ll tell you what the purpose this is. It\u2019s to create a whole generation upon generation upon generation of little young leftist radicals who are going to end up incapable<\/emphasize> of getting any kind of work except going to a nonprofit where they have to rely on the donations of other saps<\/emphasize> because they\u2019re not prepared to go out and earn a real living with real work in the real world, and there\u2019s a bunch of that happening out there. I don\u2019t have any patience for it whatsoever, and I love running into people that have that kind of attitude, especially people that think they\u2019re doing so much for the ‘human condition,\u2019 and so much for people when they\u2019re not doing diddly-squat. <\/p>\n

‘I get together with these kids after school. We have a conversation. I teach them arts and crafts and dancing and so forth.\u2019 <\/p>\n

‘Well, that\u2019s all well and good. It makes you feel good, but it\u2019s worthless if that\u2019s it, if that\u2019s the full scope of what you think you\u2019re doing for kids.\u2019<\/p>\n

‘Well, it\u2019s keeping them off the streets! It\u2019s keeping them away from drugs!\u2019<\/p>\n

‘I appreciate that, but it\u2019s far beneath all that they\u2019re capable<\/emphasize> of doing.\u2019<\/p>\n

‘We have to build their self-esteem.\u2019<\/p>\n

‘The best way to build self-esteem is through achievement and accomplishment, not by taking the self-esteem of others and trying to whittle it down.\u2019<\/p>\n

We had a story not long ago. The promotion of all this self-esteem in school is causing all kinds of problems, because we have a bunch of ego freaks running around who don\u2019t deserve to have the huge egos! ‘I have been taught to love myself and I love myself and I\u2019m good,\u2019 and they have no reason for it. They\u2019ve just been told that that\u2019s a justifiable way to behave and have an attitude. They get out there, and they get crushed by reality. The first time they go out for a job interview, and they\u2019re treated like just one of a million of the ants that are showing up, and when they\u2019re 24 and don\u2019t have the 5,000-square-foot house that they grew up in, then all of a sudden it\u2019s Bush\u2019s fault and the country sucks or what have you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
