Avoid Morality?

Oh, good gravy! It appears social engineers in Britain aren't satisfied with the moral vacuum they've helped create. Now we have this piece of advice from Beverley Hughes, the UK's children's minister, soon to come out in a government leaflet.

The headline in the Sunday Times reads . . . "Parents told: avoid morality in sex lessons." Now, here's a clip from the article itself . . .

Parents should avoid trying to convince their teenage children of the difference between right and wrong when talking to them about sex . . . Instead, any discussion of values should be kept "light" to encourage teenagers to form their own views.

Oh, really? And this in the wake of a 13-year-old boy and a 15-year-old girl allowed to sleep together by their parents -- resulting in said 13-year-old fathering a child (barring another father being revealed by DNA)?

Lest anyone think I am picking on my British friends (and I am of Welsh extraction), we have plenty of the same stupidity here in the States, and it's wrought the same kind of havoc on our own society and the health of the family unit. How contrary to Scripture, which mandates how parents are to raise their children in "the nurture and admonition of the Lord." That doesn't mean exposing your children to a smorgasbord of thought, and letting them select what they'll choose to absorb. It means laying out right and wrong before your children, with the full understanding that they are ultimately accountable to a God who will not be mocked or gainsaid.

Well, I guess we'll have to continue to reap the whirlwind. Unfortunately, the whirlwind is quickly becoming a maelstrom.
