"The whole principle (censorship) is wrong; it's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't eat steak.”  ― Robert A. Heinlein

The opposite is true too. Infants shouldn't be handed knives because grown men need to cut their steak.

If we were to seriously take that advice, children wouldn't have access to laptops in the first pace, let alone "school" ones.

Having passed a toddler a steak knife, it's fine. There are even practice knifes for this purpose.

That time. With that child. I don't think "a steak knife per toddler" is a scalable value proposition.

I disagree. Most children (including toddlers) can be taught quickly to safely handle even "scary knives" and controlled exposure to real tools with real consequences is actually high value.

You can also give infants who are ready for food meat and other real foods, just keep in mind the lack of teeth.

Cigarette lighters and matches would probably be banned, or at least heavily restricted, if smoking had never been a thing.
