@RonDeSantis They need more outdoor play, not medication!

I don’t think people realize how much 7-10 year old boys are physically capable of

Where I live (Dallas), several 90 minute sports practices a week are common, and the kids still thrive in the classroom and play hard at recess

Didn’t kids do just fine in the days before it was the norm to pump them with pills?

The statement engages in public discourse by discussing the impact of social media and medication on children's development. It reflects nostalgia for a time without social media and implies a preference for outdoor play over medication for children.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly harm but implies criticism of current practices without evidence.
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    It promotes understanding of past experiences but lacks empathy for those who may benefit from medication. [-1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement does not engage in constructive dialogue or provide evidence for its claims. [-1]
