"There are a lot of people claiming they prize their child's innocence when what they are actually working to create in the kid is ignorance and naivete. You can be knowledgeable and competent without being debauched."

"It gets worse when you realize nonwhite kids are almost never allowed to stay 'innocent' on matters of race and bigotry -- it's a survival skill to teach them fast and young how to be racially competent, so nobody shoots them. But god forbid you want to market a book to white kids that engages thoroughly wiht the history of slavery and the way Jefferson and Washington were involved with it."
