Denver flappers are teaching
parents things they ought to
know in a regularly established
school, according to Judge Ben
Lindsey, head of Denver's
Juvenile court.
'The flapper and the cake:-
eater are the greatest phe-
nomena the world has ever
known" he declared. "The
modern boy and girl know that
better than their parents,
said the judge. Eighty per
cent of the fathers and
mothers don't know enough to
raise children properly.
81 believe in compulsory
education for parents in schools
where they will be taught by
cake-eaters and flappers. We
have already started such a
school in Denver, and I've got
four flappers as teachers.
We have nothing to fear
from the tendencies of the
modern child. This would be a
terrible world if children did
not disobey their parents. The
worlds progress is due to the
disobedience Of children"
