Yes. Because keeping your kids from playing with the other kids the way everyone else is playing has always worked so very well, as an infallible means of preventing bullying.

This is just a simplistic idea. "Unmonitored" is the only useful word in it. It's true that parents need to monitor what their kids are doing.

By your logic it would be wrong to prevent your kid from taking drugs (or partaking in any other personally destructive vice) because all of their friends take drugs and would bully her if she doesnt.

Dont you see how taking the route of least resistance (negotiating with terrorists) can not work in the long term? The list of things she shouldnt be allowed to do but you have to allow to prevent bullying would grow day by day and make her life more and more miserable because she would be bullied into doing countless things she doesnt really even want to and instead of helping by preventing it, her parent indirectly helps the bullies by inaction.

The bullies have to be attacked directly, not indirectly. Appeasement never works and has never worked.
