another brain-dead socialist mommy:

This, from the NZ Herald:
‘A reader writes: “My 5-year-old daughter recently came home from school with a bracelet, given to her by the local gymnastic club, who had visited the school to promote the club. Maybe it’s me but I thought the message on the bracelet was a little twisted – ‘Champions train, endure pain, and never complain’. Try explaining that to a 5-year-old – ‘Hey honey, why don’t you be a gymnast. It’ll hurt but you can’t tell anyone.’ Is that really a message you want to promote? Seems a bit sick to me.”‘
