- That is the whole problem. Teachers in sex ed. and drug ed. classes are
- told not to tell children what is right and wrong, to just present the
- facts. This has the opposite effect of what they intend. Kids tend to
- be more promiscuous and use more drugs. Please read 'Why Johnny can't
- tell right from wrong' by William Kirkpatrick (recently published).
- Another book is 'Moral Illiteracy' (I believe that's the title)
- by William Bennett. You wanted references, well now you have them.
-
- Start reading.
