Seared Souls: How We Abuse Our Children

Since I’m going to be criticizing a now widely accepted phenomenon, this piece may evoke eye rolls from some supporters. So be it, because certain things need to be said.

I must confess that the way many of my fellow adults behave today, can make me ashamed to be one. I almost sometimes feel as if I want to apologize to the children for the example the contemporary grown-up world now sets. We often lament, and rightly so, how disrespectful many modern youths are, yet a prerequisite for commanding respect is being respectable. It is little respectable about modern American culture.

Whether or not communist activist Willi Münzenberg (1889-1940) actually said: “We will make the West so corrupt that it stinks,” he might as well have. It’s not just that adults now show children indecent images in sex education’s name, rubber stamp elementary school Satan clubs in deference to “religious freedom” and tell kids they can switch sexes just by willing it. It’s also what the “good” people fighting these abominations often do.
