This post is in response to another thread in effort to stay on topic over there.
The concern presented was that controversial and or devisive topics (religion specifically) are not appropriate for underage CPF'ers as they may undermine the parents rights regarding how they raise their child. I hope I paraphrased that accuately, this is how I took the comment.
I feel that while this is a valid concern for parents, it is not the responsibility of a forum or it's members to censor content or refrain from controversial topics to protect a parents right to limit what information their child is exposed to. I believe this is a parents right--and their responsibility.
I think CPF does a good job of providing an exciting community appropriate for all ages. The internet presents unique challenges to parenting. I just think we need to change at home rather than trying to change others.
I don't mean to draw this out, I just wanted to respond without posting this in someone else's thread.
