Creeping PC perhaps? When I were a kid it was "we'll never let him go". Now I don't believe in gratuitous violence, but does anyone feellike starting a thread to discuss whether shielding children from unpleasant images makes them more sensitive socially, or if exposing them to harsh images (I'm not talking about Reservoir Dogs, more Hansel and Gretel) gives them the opportunity to challenge inequity and develop an ethical reflex?
