I do not intend this to be a rant. In the interest of full disclosure I will say I do not have cable, I have little interest in modern movies and my children attended a Christian school. Why is it that Christians (Catholic or not) easily send their children to learn from a godless system, continue to use television which by and large mocks Christian values, do not discourage their children from attending or watching modern movies that disparage anything good or godly, or allow their children to be exposed intentionally to things they already know are damaging. How can we continue to put our hand in the fire and expect not to get burned? We know the defintion of insanity and are experiencing it.
Its even crazier when folks pay thousands of dollars to get their kids out of godless public schools and a rotting culture only to have their Catholic school peddling the same garbage. (There of course exceptions.)
It’s a good question. Some parents are lazy and some parents are overworked and too tired to supervise properly.
You know, if you have tv and cable, you can watch many wonderful cultural things. TCM - the classic film network - is an education in culture, beauty and the American way. ME TV has the most wholesome and hilarious American sitcoms and westerns available. But you have to keep track of the best of cable and ignore the networks. Trouble is, the parents have no interest in black and white movies or films made before 1995. They have no interest in the Andy Griffith Show or F Troop or Leave it to Beaver. Sad.
