Given the conservative movement to move our society back to the 1950's, sure people can beat their kids. Did great for that generation - just ask them.
More kids drink booze than don't. Americans are just weird about alcohol for some reason. Hell, we're fine with sending people off to die for their country before they can legally drink.
Weed is only a drug because black people smoked it during the Jim Crow Era and it scared white folks. Same reason gun control became a thing.
Anecdotally, my parents were fine letting me watch the most brutal violence the 80s and early 90s could produce but were weird about letting me see a set of tits. What do you think I grew up to see plenty of? I'll give you a hint - I've never seen a hockey mask wearing zombie.
Given the push for conservatives to make schooling useless, going to school or not won't matter in a few decades anyways. Plus I've learned more useful things online than school ever taught me. Even before the rise of the internet, I learned more on my own volition than I did in school, to the point where my high school English teacher directed a student to ask me a question about Greek Mythology during our reading of the Odyssey because I knew better than him, apparently. Dude had a doctorate and was a year from retirement and couldn't answer a simple question.
Our father, who art in Hell
Unhallowed, be thy name
Cursed be thy sons and daughters
Of our nemesis who are to blame
Thy kingdom come, Nema
