I heard a good saying recently: hysteria equals history. Your daughter’s reaction was based on her traumatic experiences.

The temperance movement that led to Prohibition was championed by women who had been traumatized by the behavior of people close to them who drank to excess. The unintended consequence was a crime wave of epic proportions. Banning booze made sense until it didn’t.

Children should learn not to judge people based on one thing they don’t like about them. Dwayne Johnson has done a lot of good in his life. You don’t have to buy his tequila or even like that he sells it, but it’s not a good reason to dislike an otherwise admirable man.
