Everyone had good input on their experiences of bullying, but this question comes down to a matter of perspective. Haidt is talking to affluent white professionals. When he says "bullying", he means Saved by the Bell, not Gangs of New York.

As someone who grew up with helicopter parents, it is infantilizing, emasculating and humiliating.

When I finally grew up in my late 20s/early 30s (thanks, metoo), I realized that the best thing I could have done was walk away from everyone as soon as I could emancipate myself (16-18), which sounds a lot like every kid from a shitty household, even though I always had food and was never slapped around.

People from rough backgrounds saying "ya...i didnt need it to be any rougher" makes sense, but that's not who Haidt is talking about.

... . . . (((( The following is a SUMMARY )))) .... ........... ... . . . The Christian Right is trying to rewrite history, to force their religion, on others. According to this Orwellian revision, the Founding Fathers were Christians.
Not true! The early presidents and patriots were generally Deists or Unitarians, rejecting Jesus and the absurdities of the Testaments.

Thomas Paine, “I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of . . . Each of those churches accuse the other of unbelief; and for my own part, I disbelieve them all.” ............................................................................. ............ ............. ........ . . .
George Washington, F I R S T president: characteristic unconcern of institutional religion. He never declared himself to be a Christian. Washington championed the cause of freedom from religious intolerance and compulsion. Washington appointed John Murray (a Universalist who denied the existence of Hell) to become an army chaplain. On his deathbed, Washington uttered no words of a religious nature and did not call for a clergyman. ..................................................................................... ............. ......... . . .
John Adams, S E C O N D president: He wrote that he found among the lawyers “a noble air and gallant achievements” but among the clergy, the “pretended sanctity of some absolute dunces.”

It was during Adams’ presidency that the Senate ratified the Treaty of Peace and Friendship, which states “the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion.”

Thomas Jefferson, T H I R D president and author of the Declaration of Independence: “I trust that there is not a young man now living in the United States who will not die an Unitarian.” He referred to the Revelation of St. John as “the ravings of a maniac”

James Madison, F O U R T H president and Father of the Constitution: Madison was not religious in any conventional sense. “Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise.” “During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What have been its fruits? More or less in all places, pride and indolence in the Clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.”

Ethan Allen, helped inspire Congress to pursue the War of Independence: “That Jesus Christ was not God is evident from his own words.” Allen noted that he was generally “denominated a Deist, the reality of which I never disputed, being conscious I am no Christian.” Allen stopped his own wedding until the God referred to was the God of Nature, and the laws “written in the great book of Nature.”

Benjamin Franklin, delegate to the Continental Congress and the Constitutional Convention: “As to Jesus of Nazareth, ... I have, with most of the present Dissenters in England, some Doubts as to his Divinity." Historians consider him, like so many great Americans of his time, as a Deist, not a Christian. ......................................................

The U.S. Constitution is a secular document. It begins, “We the people,” and contains no mention of “God” or “Christianity.” Its only references to religion are exclusionary, such as, “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust” (Art. VI), and “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof” (First Amendment). The presidential oath of office, the only oath detailed in the Constitution, does not contain the phrase “so help me God” or any requirement to swear on a bible (Art. II, Sec. 1, Clause 8). If we are a Christian nation, why doesn’t our Constitution say so?

In 1797 America made a treaty with Tripoli, declaring that “the government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” This reassurance to Islam was written under Washington’s presidency, and approved by the Senate under John Adams. . . . https://ffrf.org/other-2/is-am....erica-a-christian-na ..
