1). He says it's the 21st century like life and behavior is becoming better now. The facts are things haven't, they've gotten worse. There are more criminals, more violent adolescents, more behavior problems now then before. Saying it's the 21st century without noting things have gotten worse is disingenuous. Maybe if we kept better structure things wouldn't progressively get worse... think about that Chris.
2). Chris Carter's son is a great example of his flawed parenting. He did such a great job sparing the rod, that his son struggled in every college he went to not being able to even graduate. He couldn't tell his son what to do (advise him), so how in the hell could any head coach? That didn't stop Chris from making it the head coaches jobs at OSU, Alabama, etc to teach his son what he couldn't... discipline and structure.
When the coaches failed to do so, instead of correcting his son, he blamed the coaches and institutions, enabling his son to continue that behavior.
This is the guy questioning parental tactics?
3). There is a difference in spanking to discipline a child and beating a child or going to far in discipline. One is right the other is very wrong.
They are not the same thing. Not even close.
