The Roanoke Slant

-
Roanoke Times, 12-2-2012, Pg. Horiz 1, 3: Voices for Virginia’s Children legislative agenda.
-
Yet more demands for the government take-over of the responsibility to raise our children. The failure of Clinton’s hypothesis “It takes a Village to raise a child” has now resulted in: “This isn’t working; we need more ‘Village’ control”!
-
Of course it’s not working. Delegating our parental responsibilities to the government is on its face bound to fail. Our decline and failures are directly related to the disintegration of the ‘traditional’ family unit that has in large part been enabled and promoted by our liberal and progressive movements. More of the same is bound to also fail.
-
Over half of our children are born ‘out of wedlock’. Now there’s a term you don’t hear any more! Over half the children in a class room have parents with different names. Parents have lost their family support system and have acquiesced to the ‘Village’ raising their children as the easy path being promoted by society.
-
The ferocity with which the liberal community attacked VP Dan Quayle in the Murphy Brown flap was a very visible measure of their commitment to obsolete and marginalize our once ‘traditional family unit’.

As for me personally, as I stood in the maternity ward in Ft. Sill Oklahoma in December 1960, looking at my tiny baby boy, it never occurred to me that there was a ‘Village’ somewhere that was responsible for him. I thought I was responsible to feed, cloth, protect, raise, instruct, guide, educate and love him and pass on to him our values in the context of our family home and environment.
Talk about being out of touch with our current culture!
Whatever happened to "goodnight John-boy" up there on Walton's Mountain?
-
Our liberal-progressive leaders are now committed to the ‘Village Parent’ program and as the failures mount so will the demand to increase and expand these failing programs and further move children away from the family environment.
One definition of insanity is doing the same failed thing over and over, expecting a different outcome!
