ideology

Ideology, not medical reality, and activism have infected much of modern parenting these days.
"Follow the money!" activists shout. The money trail, according to this logic, always leads to lies and deception.
Ideology is a double-edged sword. Dedication to a set of beliefs can be admirable, but when it leads to inflexibility and obstinance in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, it is a dangerous thing.
