“Most children are better off without a questioning environment.”
I disagree. Emphatically.
Children dont like to be told, “Do xyz because, I said so.”
Heck, no one likes that. When children are taught that questioning is healthy and that they shouldnt be happy with the status quo, they learn to figure things out on their own leading to a sense of fulfillment when they reach the conclusion.
Imagine how much more precious Yiddishkeit would be to you if you ‘discovered’ it on your own? (yes, FFBs can also discover Yiddishkeit) rather than having parents, teachers, rabbeim shoving it down your throat, and whats more being penalizing in the name of ‘Frumkeit’.
