Should we let children identify as animals?

[king1]

Ummmm, except that child play is a vital piece of post modernist thinking if you look into educational philosophy, as I was forced to do at length not so long ago. Letting children have free rein of their imaginations with regard to their development of self, gender and identity is a common theme.

And after all, is it so far away from adults having spirit animals to guide them, or imagining an entire pantheon of gods and angels and devils to do the same.

The day we let raving idiots like Piers Morgan be taken seriously is the day we should abandon all sense of being intelligent beings and go join the rabbits in the fields.

But I am not against child's play.  Childs play has been around long, long before post modernism.  The issue is that children are being coerced.  It is not about play it is about play being crossed out and real being inserted.  It is the same mentality as pregnant persons or a pregnant man. 

Children are being coerced into identifying as animal?  makes no sense whatsoever.

But I have the popcorn on standby...
