Reality against wish
New age wishful dreams should never be allowed to become reality
The request is that we teach children that it is wrong to make fun of someone, it is wrong to exclude anyone, it is wrong to hurt the feelings of anyone, it is wrong to cause any pain, it is wrong to talk about people not present, (Not sure how you teach history without talking about people not present.) that love is not conditional.
There is also the demand that we achieve the elimination of comparison between winning and losing, (every child must get a prize- be a winner) in every activity.
This prevention of competition is unnatural and potentially very bad for humanity.
We are all equal in our right to life and opinions, we are all deserving of being respected and valued, but it is self-evident that we are different from each other, some are mentally strong while others physically strong. One strength is not more important than the other, but the difference must be recognized and accepted. Both strengths can be used for good, both can be used for bad. This is reality.
Look at nature, it is red in tooth and claw for a reason. Animals in the wild usually have a single dominant one who takes responsibility for the welfare of the whole group. The selection of this leader is through competition. Nature is in a constant state of competition, The food chain fluctuates, and species domination is controlled, balanced, by competition between species and groups. Even plants, compete for water and nutrients, if left alone it can end up with a locally dominate species. That is until along comes a balancing factor, one that feeds on this dominant plant. The balance in the natural world is maintained by competition.
Banter that is boarding on personal insults, has existed since language began part of life. Self-depreciation, humor, verbal insults, are all normal, we need to teach children to cope, not avoid, just as with risk - teach children to evaluate and cope, not avoid.
If you take 10,000 children and condition 9,999 to believe that life is all sweetness and light, if they learn to avoid competition, avoid risk, avoid confrontation, avoid any chance of upsetting anyone—then the 1 child left will dominate and rule all of them
Please do not say that we have to educate the 1 child; this never going to happen, there is always going to be 1 out of the billions who takes charge. Turn the majority of humans into sheep like creatures who avoid risk, who follow who ever and whatever takes responsibility for going any a direction, then you have the sort of blind obedience that will lead to tyranny.

As vague generalisation, many males cause emotional and mental pain by omission, by carelessness, by accident but many females deliberately hurt, may be in retaliation against hurt they feel but they know they are going to hurt their chosen opponent. Neither carry out risk assessment, it is human nature unfettered and natural.
Risk assessment is now done by “experts” with a list of boxes to tick. What nonsense, every person in control of a vehicle, every mother with small children, every teacher, every livestock farmer, they are all constantly carrying out risk assessments. Mostly unconsciously but they are all evaluating the situation second by second and automatically adjusting their actions and focusing their senses due to the results of that momentary unconscious risk assessment. Assess and cope, is what we do all the time. Take that right to do this, take the ability away from humans, train and condition them to think they cannot do this, and you have vegetables not humans, You have docile cannon fodder, waiting to be exploited.
We must escape from this drive to turn humans into some sort of docile herd, one without ambition, without drive, without the need to strive towards an objective. Stagnation is the stage before death and decay. Take away all competition, all positive striving and you have stagnation.
