This is perhaps indicative of the "wusification" of kids in America today. Virtually anything that could cause any (even the most minuscule) harm mentally or physically is now quickly out of favor. If kids cannot learn to deal with inequity, pain, rejection, competition, etc, they will be at a disadvantage living and competing in the larger world which is full of all these things. Also, perhaps they might develop entitlement mentalities whereby anything that is not smooth, perfect, and fair gets "reported" by them to central "authorities" for policy review and remediation. The underlying expectation is that they don't have to deal with anything they don't agree with or find unpleasant.
