Ea Krauss, a conservative commentator and advocate for women’s rights and smaller government, experienced a school trip that turned out to be a wake-up call about modern parenting. She was a chaperone for her school choir's annual competition, which included over 50 fourth through eighth graders. The school enforces strict rules such as no phones except to text parents and a strict dress code. She also allows chaperones to discipline students for behavior such as interruptions, or to leave the school before 7 a.m. Krauss argues that social awareness has decreased since the advent of the AIDS epidemic has become more restrictive.
