Answer:

Freedom of Speech

Explanation:

People will be exposed to a variety of damaging beliefs throughout their lives. This is an unavoidable truth: no matter how much you shelter someone from the outside world, they will ultimately learn about dangerous things. Instead of "sheltering" someone from hazardous ideas and then having them all arrive at once, it is preferable to present them to them in moderate doses that are tailored to them. As a result, protecting someone from hazardous ideas is less vital than ensuring freedom of expression since these ideas will ultimately spread to everyone. Vonnegut just depicts the real world in his writings, thus protecting someone from them would require blotting off the outer world, which is simply not feasible.Vonnegut states, " If you were to bother to read my books, to behave as educated persons would, you would learn that they are not s3xy, and do not argue in favor of wildness of any kind. They beg that people be kinder and more responsible than they often are. It is true that some of the characters speak coarsely.That is because people speak coarsely in real life." He is saying even if you shelter these children they will experience it from outsiders anyways.
