To further elaborate our position on traditional life, there are no "tats" and there are no extraneous body piercings. The only piercings that were permitted in this family were those required to support an attractive pair of earrings (that necessarily excludes me, of course). Our daughter has taken her family on a late-summer vacation to the Grand Canyon. She, her husband and their son have, in the grand American tradition, worked the entire summer while making life better for themselves and others - a great American tradition which many continue to refuse to understand. When our daughter returns, it will be to a thriving law practice which she enjoys the ownership of. The lesson here is, spank your children when they need it but, don't brutalize them. You'd be surprised at how well they turn out.
Sounds like a nice nuclear family. But what does this have to do with the leftist indoctrination going on in the public schools? I raised great children, too, and they were disciplined, but I had to offset much of what they brought home from school. Too many parents today are either unaware, or do not care. Very sad. And I say that having one daughter who taught for over twenty years, and was a principal for ten, now serving in administration. She has been made well aware, so is not one of those brainwashing the kids.
