I am not sure what you mean by "politically correct", but clearly you mean
it as a pejorative.  Under the subject "Parental Involvment..."  I have been
following a discussion about the wider implications of involving children in
genealogical research projects as a way of introducing children and parents
to the wonders of history.  Some of the responses have raised concerns over
potential problems in assigning genealogical research, and other responses
have included suggestions for different kinds of research projects. Perhaps
I missed the politically correct debates?
