"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.

Which should be inculcated by parents and the Church.

Even beyond that, there used to be a code among men and women that such behavior is not to be celebrated, but abhored.

But the Gramscian Left has mocked all that morality, taken over the schools, entertainment media and other powers in the culture, substituted the culture of "don't Judge others" as the highest form of morality.

Severe, severe example-making punishment is in order.

Also, the end of "government" schools.
