Your words have meaning and they can be hurtful. It's not true that words can't hurt someone. I tell my kids to think before they speak because their words can have more impact than they realize.And teaching wrong things to kids can make them grow up thinking it is true - It all starts with childhood. If I taught my kids to be white supremacists and showed them white supremacist books, movies, etc, they'd probably grow up thinking they are right and that everyone else is wrong. Maybe they would back down later, like theists de-convert, but it's not an easy process. I'm not a parent, but raising kids ideologically should be impartial and not biased
I can't tell if you're agreeing or disagreeing or both or neither.
