That's exactly my feeling as well. I don't go around correcting all his friends and classmates (well, much) and I want to hold up some good examples while he's learning. I try to set a good example myself, but even as dad, I'm just one voice in the chorus of what is shaping his neural net.
And I ain't sure how good I talks always neither.

As I start seeing him self-correct and discriminate more, like purple_fishy's kid does, I'm sure it'll bother me less.
