Whoa! What a Concept!
Topic : ParentingWhoa! What in the world is happening with our kids today? Lets see I think it started when Madalyn Murray OHair complained that she didnt want any prayer in our schools, and we said OK.
Then someone said you had better not read the Bible in school-the Bible that says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said, OK.
Remember Dr. Benjamin Spock, who said we shouldnt spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem? And we said, OK, we wont spank them.
Then someone said that teachers and principals better not discipline our children when they misbehave. And our administrators said whoa, no one in this school better touch a student when they misbehave because we dont want any bad publicity, and we surely dont want to be sued.
Then someone said, lets let our daughters have abortions if they want, and we wont even have to tell their parents. And we said, thats a grand idea.
Then someone else said, lets give our sons all the condoms they want, so they can have all the fun they desire, and we wont have to tell their parents. And we said, thats another great idea.
And then some of our top officials said that it doesnt matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs. And we said, as long as I have a job and the economy is good, it doesnt matter to me what anyone does in private.
So now were asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they dont know right from wrong, and why it doesnt bother them to kill.
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with we reap what we sow.
Whoa! What a concept!
