I would say much more than Nee's teaching, the LC/LSM practice of deputy authority is in opposition to AMerican values.
Meaning LC/LSM teachings on deputy authority is 100% with the coworkers/elders/secular leaders. While husbands and parents are excluded. I seem to recall portions of Lee's ministry where he tried to de-emphasize the parental love for our children. That we could love out children too much.

Based on Nee's teaching if an elder/coworker was to "touch" my children, that would be usurping the father's/parental responsibility as deputy authority. In non-LC Christian circles them emphasis is not as deputy authority, but as shepherds of the home. As I see, it is the responsibility of each parent to lead their children to Christ.
