While the original request asked, if I recall correctly, suggestions concerning parental involvement, and while I've observed, fortunately in the minority, efforts to insure that projects are "politically correct", I don't recall having seen any suggestion that there are parents fully capable of encouraging their children to undertake appropriate projects when they become involved. Many of the suggestions I find noteworthy; those that meet the agenda of "political correctness", seem to have less appeal and substance. As a parent I'm sure that my spouse and I would welcome suggestions, should our children be assigned a topic where our participation were suggested, and I am convinced that we could help our children select a project that would be constructive and not destructive.
