... liberal parents, that are like me.

I never, ever, tried to exert any prohibitory control over what my son read, on line or off, watched, listened to, or video games played. And if we had such a ban, I certainly would have showed him how to circumvent it.

My son wasn't a bully, and I doubt she is either. My son was, and is, an upstanding, outstanding person who would never support or tolerate the denigration or oppression of others. That's what he learned from me.
