------------
What is a Moral Panic? Moral panics are instances of mass fear based on the false or exaggerated perception that some cultural behavior or group of people is dangerously deviant and poses a threat to society's values and interests.

Such panics are fostered by mass media and exploited by self-appointed moralists and politicians.

First coined by Jock Young (1971) and, later, Stanley Cohen (1972) when he studied the public reaction to youths called “mods and rockers” in Brighton, England during the 1960's.

What does PLAY have to do with getting kids ready to read? Children learn a lot about language through play. Play helps children think symbolically, so they understand that spoken and written words can stand for real objects and experiences.
