I think the author is dead-on. Maybe a bit brutal, but for one I appreciate the brutal honesty.

This politically-correct crap where everyone's special, everyone's a winner and everyone deserves huggy-wuggys is B.S. Fact is the world is tough, there are winners and losers and if you want to be a winner, you better start learning that hard lesson at an early age. Too many parents "over-shelter" their kids in manners like this and when the kids hit the realities of the real world, they're caught totally unprepared and they end up getting their asses handed to them.

Competitiveness makes us stronger, not weaker.

We should be rewarding and supporting the successful, not coddling the failures. If kids fail, let them understand it, let them experience it (how much it sucks) and most importantly realize it's not the end of the world and they can/should pick themselves up, dust themselves off and try again, this time more experienced and better prepared so maybe they can succeed this time around.

Freekin' "sensitivity training" inspired bull*****. Only drags us down collectively. I have little use for it.
