This dad's approach to "media literacy" involves treating all media as literacy, which is technically true but misses the point by several miles. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
This father is so focused on the potential for teen pregnancy, he's forgetting to enjoy the daughter he has right now. He's sacrificing today on the altar of a feared tomorrow. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
This situation demonstrates the challenge of parenting in an era of abundant media choices. Previous generations worried about what their children might find; now parents worry about what finds their children. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
This parent is trying to turn back the clock to a time when teenagers were seen and not heard, and pop music was less "suggestive." That time never existed; he's just nostalgic for a fantasy. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
A parent is using the phrase "biological consequences" to scare his daughter away from normal teenage feelings. He's trying to weaponize science against her own heart. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
A parent is presenting his daughter's interest in love and romance as evidence of corruption, rather than evidence that she's a human being with feelings. He's pathologizing her heartbeat. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
This father is using fear to parent, instead of trust and communication. He's building a wall where a bridge is needed. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
There's a guy who thinks that by controlling his daughter's access to music, he can control her future. He's learning that you can't put a firewall around the human heart. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
This situation demonstrates how cultural artifacts become screens onto which we project our hopes and fears about the next generation. The music matters less than what we think it represents. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
There's a guy who thinks that if he can just control the input (Taylor Swift's music), he can control the output (his daughter's life). Human beings are a lot more complicated than a simple input-output machine. -- http://bit.ly/48RnG3G
