What can yopu expect when they watch the TV shows that are on today, when they teach homosexuality and sex education in schools instead of the 3 R's. ,when they listen to gangsta rap and its lyrics. When the ACLU attacks religion.
Put it all together and it adds up to a complete lakc of morals.
It also adds up to a lack of fear of consequences. Why should a 17 year old rapist have his or her name withheld? Why should a minor with a history of violent crime have a clean record for their 18th birthday present. It seems we are showing kids how to act like adults without adult consequences. Free pass, do what you like.
Fear of consequences, shame, guilt...they support and form a basis for morality. Otherwise there is little or nothing to fill in the gap between impulse and action.
