“I feel very strongly that it’s wrong to label children with the opinions of their parents. Nobody minds labeling a child an English child or a French child or a Dutch child. But you’d think I was mad if I started talking about a postmodernist child or a Keynesian child or a monetarist child or a liberal child or a conservative child. And yet the whole of our society, quite happily, buys into the idea that you can talk about a Catholic child or a Protestant child or a Muslim child or a Hindu child,” Richard Dawkins tells the BBC’s Daily Politics. “That’s surely got to be wrong—to assume that a child will automatically inherit the opinions of its parents about the universe, the cosmos, and morality. This must be something that should be rectified.”
