					<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t hear the &quot;my UU upbringing was way too permissive&quot; refrain very often, but it does come up from time to time. It&#039;s true that we&#039;re hesitant to judge one another and that our &quot;agree to disagree&quot; philosophy makes it hard to hammer out a consensus on things like boundaries and appropriate behavior around children.

That said, I think the problem was worse in the past, at least to judge from our youth programs. Ever since LRY fell apart in the late &#039;70s and early &#039;80s because, in part, of the perception that it had become too hedonistic and unsafe, appropriate boundaries have been a big focus of UU youth programming.

Still, this kind of thing happens. We&#039;re pretty good at discussing these things openly and addressing them, but given who we are I think they&#039;ll always be an issue for us. It&#039;s interesting to see this on your blog, Chutney, since this person&#039;s complaint is the liberal mirror image of your struggle with the darker side of your own fundamentalist upbringing.]]></description>
