I think you are making some fine points. What I do disagree with is the implicit conclusion that since it might have some degree of an eugenic effect, then this cultural condition itself is not negative or at least that it shouldn't be opposed to due to it's silver linings. Think of the other side of the coin: If you were to have a child of your own would you want him to be exposed to such influences when he goes to school, watches cartoons, browses the internet and even he reads books meant for children?

I'd admit to being somewhat but not overly concerned. One reason is that I think am right, rather than being absolutely sure I am right, the other is that even if I was right, I would still have a selfish interest in my own child, even if this was at odds with the interest of the greater good

There's no such thing as "the greater good". It's only ever mentioned when attempting to justify atrocities, and no one can ever identify or explain what it is.
