John, I'd respectfully argue that if your kids go to private schools, they are not in the "system" I'm complaining about, though you too seem to have brushed up against some of these tendencies.

Another facet of this issue (and linked in with the whole feminist movement in teaching) is the tendency to make sex offenders out of children, usually the boys.

I've heard of everything from little boys being arrested and charged with sex crimes for kissing little girls (remember when we used to think this kind of behavior was cute, not criminal?) to teenage boys being charged with child porn possession because their teenage girlfriend sent them naughty pictures. So we have everything from naiveness to bad judgment becoming criminal in a way that haunts the poor kid for the rest of their life.
