Something that I find interesting is that in the Netherlands no one talks about “freedom of speech”, rather, what is spoken of is “freedom to express opinions” — this different phrasing putting the focus not on the broad “speech” but the more narrow “opinion” seems to color the discourse differently.
For instance, the fire in a crowded theatre-argument has no meaning in that reference, for it is not an opinion; whether there be fire is a fact.
Pornography could also not be made legal by it, as it expresses no opinion.
In reality however, the Dutch constitution does not guarantee freedom to expression opinions unknown to much of the population, it merely prohibits the government from enacting præventive censorship with the exception of commercial advertisements and broadcasts aimed at minors — it is allowed to censor post factum.
Oh please! Forgive us for not taking seriously the ideas, on this subject, of a country that arrested and tried, multiple times, an elected parliamentarian for the recitation of plain facts about criminal arrest statistics within the country.

We’ll call if discussion turns to cheese or chocolates.
And the family always said "there's the harder math class? You take that one". "there's a test for the magnet school? You study for that one". "you got accepted to a more party college and a more engineering college? You go to the 2nd one"
You don't think the kid would be more likely to be a success than at baseline?
As a parent myself, I wish the scenario you described was true! That guardians had the capacity to simply nurture into reality an Al Einstein or Mikey Phelps, if they just Tiger Mom push their way through the young person's early years. But the data do not indicate that; to the contrary, most of that future person is already defined in their nature/genes at conception, and good parenting, at its best, will simply avoid catastrophe while nudging towards good goals.
All the rest is just to make the guardian feel better about themself.
