In light of my recent post on morals, I found this commentary from a teacher compelling.

Whether or not we are born with a rudimentary predisposition of morality...morality and it's resulting ethics does need to be nurtured and understood by young minds and some might say...the brains of those without minds and old minds as well.

    Young children, and many older children, NEED direction for a firm footing on how to make way in the world. This is why the Government pushes so hard to usurp parental authority and why its so egregious that far too many parents are perfectly happy to relinquish that responsibility. My kids, despite being enormous pains in my ass at times (particularly now that they are in college and know everything), have their foundation - We did our part.

    "When an opponent declares, “I will not come over to your side,” I calmly say, “Your child belongs to us already… What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.”
