You choose to allow your son to play Call of Duty.
I choose not to, but we allow pretty much any non-pornographic book you could think of to be read and discussed. We have yet to ban a book in the house, and the only “bans” on films have been to read the book before they see the movie where applicable.
The key is that in both cases, yours and mine, we are parenting and not allowing or expecting the state to do it for us. No one decision is appropriate for every child. Who better to make those decisions than the parent?
My children range from grad school through preschool. Good grades, good jobs, volunteer & charitable work, no significant problems at all. They dress modestly, aren’t selfish, snotty or mean. Our kids are awesome people.
I’m not about to hand the roll of parent over to the state.

While we may disagree on the details of parenting, we agree totally here. I am 100% behind you. It is the parents job, whatever/however that parent chooses, Period.
