Now let's talk about the brain and development.
You might think that you become fully mature when you turn 21 but new research suggests that your brain does not stop developing until your late 40s.
Intentionally trying to cause harm? I don't think so. Intentionally suppressing true critical thinking? I think so.
is the sister trying, intentionally, to cause the young lady harm by teaching her historical innacuracies?
What does she teach about "truths" which are counter to her own perceptions?
if anything, the sister's intent is noble.
the sister intends to teach the young lady her perception of historical truths.
regardless of the validity of the sister's "truths", intent rests within the motivation of the sister only.
intent cannot be factored objectively.
We can argue this all day, but it states plainly in the scripture not to mesh religions, and that includes religious customs... especially ones that portray to the worship of the sun, the moon, and the earth, which is also directly against the Bible.
I'm not making it evil by calling out it's origins. I'm just making it's evil known.
the same situation that failed the older sister could be failing the younger sister.

See, and here's the funny thing... she didn't actually give a particular conspiracy theory this time.
My little sister, who is ten years old, has been learning about all conspiracies since about four years ago, when I started learning about them and teaching her, when I was about 14. So, she's been learning them since about age 6 or 7, roughly.

Where it's your sister there's not much you can do......but your parents have every right to go down there and fight them for this.
So when your teenager sneaks out, "borrows the car" and does something they shouldn't do then the parents are incompetent?
If your baby smears mashed potatoes in her hair then you're an incompetent parent?

I agree with her teacher.
She is not really old enough to comprehend. She is just repeating what she is told.
people who say the bible is the word of god because it says so in the bible are making an invalid statement.
this is a logical fallacy. it is the ubiquitous circular thinking fallacy.

Isn't that what takes place in school to begin with? IE: In Composition we are taught how to speak and write properly, so we merely repeat what we have learned. In History, we are taught the same, to repeat what it is we have been told.

Oh I agree, because children are VERY intelligent. I believe that many children are dumbed down and cannot work to their fullest potential in school. As I said, fitting square pegs into round holes. Public school education is applied as a one size fits all for the most part. Having any thoughts or identity of your own does not fit into that round hole.

They are teaching 10 year old children about the concentration camps in our curriculum here in our county.

you seem to be mis-understanding my position.
what i am looking for are quantifiable or qualifiable degrees of validity.
if a teenager "sneaks out, 'borrows the car' and does something that they shoudn't", then yes it could very much be argued that the parents are incompetent.
and they would be incompetent because of the arbtrary rules that they set.
how is borrowing the car either accurate or inaccurate?
or "(doing) something they shouldn't"?
how can validity or accuracy be attributed to either of those situations.
the exact same argument can be made for your baby throwing mashed pototoes example.
perceptions of recorded history, while not being valid, can most certainly be invalid.
let me give you an example. (this should ruffle some feathers)...
people who say the bible is the word of god because it says so in the bible are making an invalid statement.
this is a logical fallacy.
it is the ubiquitous circular thinking fallacy.
but if someone doesn't understand, or more importantly, they have not been taught logic, then my statements are mis-understood.

Teaching a kid to always question and ask why is a great thing!
It promotes a more inquisitive nature and I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of ATS members were the annoying little #s in the classroom always #ing asking why and never being satisfied.
