Isn't censorship guiding their morals? We (my wife and I) don't force our children to do or not do anything that's safe. They choose themselves. We are firm on our guidelines and they have no doubt on our views. Film classification, for example, is a guide. Some kids think it's good to watch material inappropriate for their maturity, and receive little, confusing, or no parental guidance making them their own moral arbiters. Our kids make up their own mind and are given the responsibility. Censorship. in this definition is a clear guide, & not forced.
