I would think this constitutes child abuse. Im all for letting kids be who/what they want to be, but there are some things you just shouldn't do. Their concept of schooling for example....
10:1 these people are anti-gun and don't see the problem with raising their kids to feel the same way.
I have no problem with their concept of schooling. I am a fan of "unschooling" myself. Human beings have a natural tendency to learn, and with a little guidance and facilitation children will learn a boatload because they want to. I think you can learn a lot more "playing" than you can sitting at a desk having someone talk at you.
I very much disagree with their "no gender" thing. Children seem to crave defined role models. Just look at all of the children who don't have positive father figures who turn to gang life.
It is too bad that the parents think that they are doing their children a favor by totally erasing any definition of gender identity.
Can you say indoctrination?
I really don't get it. Even if you do not have religious belief about how a child should be raised and the difference between male and female. How can you ignore that there are clearly defined roles for males and females in just about every life form.
What do you learn by playing?

Risking calling you sexist, what do you mean roles? Their are plenty of single parents on this board that play both "roles" as mother and father and do it quite well. I think we all have responsibilities that we must take care of not roles to play, thats for plays and perverts.
Sorry – I’m too new to soapbox aren’t I.
