Schools erase Shakespeare from their English curricula and America’s Founding Fathers from their history classes for the same reason youth sports leagues stop keeping soccer scores: they don’t want anyone feeling hurt or left out. And in both cases, handling the children with such over-the-top care and attention creates an unearned sense of entitlement. If you try to prevent students from dealing with difficulty, soon they begin to expect (nay, demand) that level of comfort.
