12. Your son is only ten years old and so much is going to happen
between now and recruitment age that four days out of his life isn't going to change his entire outlook forever.

Why not let him go and go with him as a chaperon? Aren't schools always looking for extra adults for field trips? If you work, can you tak a day off to go? Flex time?

That way he can get the benefit of anything educational they have but you can talk to him afterwords about anything you found objectionable. You can also tell other parents what's going on if there's anything that egregiously goes over the line.
