When the Culture War Comes For the kids

Article note: That's a psychologically unhealthy onion right there. From the dysfunction of vast metropolitan clusterfucks, to metric-driven childhood, to weird cultural judgements on parents, through the perversity of slogan- progressivism, and back around. Repeatedly. All in one article. It's an interesting read because it makes nice, nuanced passes on the tension between providing children appropriate educations and using the education system for social projects, and between progressive ideals and ham-fisted, knee-jerk 'progressive' policy.
