I too would be thrilled if my child, at any age, returned from camp, school, encounter with strangers, etc. with material that I liked and with which I sympathized. That seems like a fairly noncontroversial position. I also admit that this position would be easy to sustain if the child in question were less than seven months old.

The issue and my commentary, however, were focused on the opposite with respect to the materials, namely materials that the parent dislikes or deems offensive.

In any event, I certainly appreciate everyone's thoughts on my comments and appreciate that at least in this discussion, my "parents should decide" position is the outlier.
