The reason they dress this stuff up behind child safety talk is cause you sound like a crank for calling them out on it. Very hard to explain it without them going "Oooh so you're against keeping children safe then are you?"

This is why it's important to get past the "we're doing it for the kids!" line, even when it seems, on the surface, to be something that might benefit the kids. Pay attention to who's saying it, not what they are saying

Ooooh I LOVE this song and had forgotten it existed, thank you!
