Top psychologist says children need traditional values

Scotland- A TOP Government advisor has recommended a return of good old fashioned family values in a bid to stem the increase of violent teens.

In response to the latest figures that show a sharp rise in violence by youngsters towards adults, Tommy MacKay, a professor of psychology at Strathclyde University and a leading authority on the subject in Scotland has said that traditional values should be brought back.

Professor MacKay supports the enforcement of school uniforms, encourages traditional family values and has spoken out against celebrity culture, as displayed in TV shows such as X factor.

He said that children were being negatively influenced by the ‘cult of self’ and that there was a need for greater respect of adults by children and teenagers.

Professor MacKay said: “Over the years there has been a fundamental loss of respect for parental and school authority and for the values previously instilled by the church.“Society is loosing its old anchor points and domestic violence is part of that pattern.

“We are sitting on an unexploded time bomb of disturbed behaviour.”

  1. This MacKay is actually supposed to know about autism. Then he must know that it, and attention deficit, include sensory issues with textures and fabrics irritating the body, hurting our skin, and the sense of heat. A sensory irritation undermines our ability to concentrate and to function well. Hence, any discomforting clothes are a serious medical assault on our bodies. It is a solid fact of our biology that any uniform or dress code is a medical abuse of us, hence that school uniform is child abuse.

    In his communist-style totalitarian picture of airbrushing out the individual, the children’s uniform will express values of violence to their own medical wellbeing. This he intends to make them feel respectful and positive towards adults!? School uniform trousers did this violence to me, with the gender discrimination too of girls having choice over legwear and boys not.

    As an adult worker, I have had my sensory need to always wear shorts advocated for by Asperger employment support and recognised. Nobody can now trample on this without committing disability discrimination. If this holds for adults, it holds for children too. Any dress code at all does disability discrimination and is proved a violation of the basic human right to bodily wellbeing.

    As uniforms suppress, on mass, minority groups with a physically and scientifically real existence, they even fit the definition of genocide in international law, and as used by the Dalai Lama re repression of Tibetan costumes. Dress codes are genocide, that is a scientific fact proved by attention deficit and autism.
