Don't Blame Parents Copyright © 1999 By Ray Thomas
Professor Thomas Sowell said it best in a recent syndicated column:
"Of all the irrational ideas that have been thrown around in the wake of the high school shootings in Littleton, Colorado, one of the most reckless is the proposal to hold parents legally responsible for what their children do."
One of the standard power seeker scams running now is the attempt to destroy parental authority by any means possible so they can control the propaganda that is taught to your children in school. Which means they're working overtime to make parents responsible for the Columbine tragedy.
For years, they've been working to undermine parents, making it impossible to control their children, while at the same time making laws that punish the parents when the child predictably gets into trouble. Sowell says further:
"Responsibility and control go together. For decades now, our laws and our educational system have consistently undermined parental authority. Yet new legal responsibilities for parents are being proposed after parental control has been eroded.
"Preschoolers are taught that their parents have no right to spank them. All sorts of propaganda programs in the schools -- from so-called 'drug prevention' to 'sex education' -- stress that each individual makes his or her own decisions, independently of parental or societal values. [And this is really strange, since they usually teach kids to be just like everybody else and avoid making independent decisions. --RT]
"Most people have no idea how pervasive and unremitting are the efforts to drive a wedge between children and their parents and to replace parental influence with the influence of teachers, counselors and even the children's similarly immature peers. Many of the books, movies, and other materials used in the public schools mock parents as old windbags who are behind the times. 'Trust-building' exercises teach students to rely on their classmates.
"Handing out condoms in school and giving girls abortions behind their parents' backs are just isolated manifestations of this underlying philosophy, which reaches far beyond sexual matters. Nor are these just idiosyncrasies of particular teachers or schools. There are nationwide networks -- some of them government-sponsored -- which have disseminated pre-packaged programs designed to wean school children away from the values with which they have been raised and mold them to the values of self-anointed agents of 'change.' [Collectivism, in other words. --RT]
The materials used and the things said in these materials would simply have to be seen to be believed. I would never have imagined such things before doing research for my book 'Inside American Education.' My assistant said she had trouble sleeping after seeing some of the movies shown to children."
Which is not unusual. People who are not intimately involved rarely see what is going on literally "under their noses" until they take the time to delve into it more deeply as Sowell had to do to research his book.
He goes on further: "Invasions of family privacy with diary assignments and other intrusions are all part of the same mindset. So are groups like the so-called Children's Defense Fund, which seek legal powers to impose their notions of how children should be raised. Hillary Clinton's pious hokum that 'it takes a village' to raise a child is more of the same.
"What all these efforts have in common, aside from an arrogant presumption of superiority, is a drive for power without responsibility. They don't even take responsibility for their own activities, which are hidden, denied or camouflaged. Above all, they are not prepared to be held accountable for the consequences of their playing with children's minds."
Absolutely. The hardest work they do is to keep what they're doing from the public, or to discredit the critic when someone exposes it, even pony-up false charges against those who reveal their "secrets" to discredit them and for retaliation for daring to expose them. But they are responsible. The blood of all the victims of the Columbine tragedy is on the hands of all the "social engineers" who use our children as "pawns in the game."
"Zealots who are pushing New Age notions of death under the guise of 'education' are undeterred by parental protests that their children are having nightmares or depression," continues Sowell. "The 'educators' who have been on a brainwashing ego trip have done their best to cover their own tracks. Manuals accompanying some of these programs show how to evade and mislead parents and the public.
Running through all these programs is the notion that morality is optional: If it feels good to you, do it!"
This then, is the "legacy" of the liberal power seekers at all levels of government. Destroy the family so they can control the propaganda that schools feed our young, unsophisticated children. In many ways, they have demonstrated that they care not who they hurt, so long as they increase their power over the rest of us. This is ample proof. Even Denver Mayor Wellington Webb's aide Andrew Hudson can't (honestly) deny that, even though his own children (if he has any) are subject to the same propaganda.
As usual, Sowell says it best when he said: "...it is truly galling to have those who have been undermining both morality and parents for years now demand that parents be held legally responsible for the acts of their children."
