Sure. But a boss' authority comes from your mutual agreement. Not from society or parenting or anything else. You listen to your boss because you agree to do so in exchange for money.

So the idea that this is related to "respect for authority" is a big reach

It's funny that people think you gotta raise a follower in order to have a respectful kid. Etiquette and healthy skepticism are not mutually exclusive.

But what would you expect from a bunch of followers? They raise followers.

You younger guys talk this **** as if it means something, but in reality you guys are soft..... marshmallow soft.....it's one thing to teach respect and another to be a "follower" as you say.

Soft, like people who feel threatened by a kid who questions authority?

Nobody said anything about not teaching kids respect. You old guys are out of touch...shrieking feminist out of touch.

You’ll need to cite examples of questioning authority. Everyone seems to be talking about different things.

8188 said "a child taught to question authority". He didn't say kids should always vocally question authority, the implication was that kids shouldn't be taught to blindly accept authority.

Y'all jumped all over him as if it's not OK to teach kids to question authority. There is a time and a place, if you're reasonable. I don't think you need examples.

So, basically he's saying children should not be taught to respect:

Teachers
Coaches in sports
Firefighters
Police
Doctors
Even their parents
And the list could go on.

His words, not ours.

We must keep in mind these guys are millenials and don't have kids...... but they know everything.... like Huff with his economics BS. Reading his Econ posts always reminds me of the scene in Back To School when Rodney is making the professor look like a dolt.

Let's just stick to the individual posters and not worry about kids.

But he clarified what he meant:

"Respect is earned. Question authority. Be civil towards all unless given a reason to behave differently"

You guys are talking about outwardly demonstrating respect, which he endorses, but he's talking about what's really going on internally with the kid's thought process.

Yeah, it really isn't that hard to see the distinction.

Threatened? Hardly....... by choice I will not raise some disrespectful little punk ass kid. I'll also not raise a follower as you put it.
