True Value(s)

Sex educators whose only answer to sex education is the promotion of condoms and birth control pills to children claim to keep values out of their classrooms and be “value-neutral. There almost seems to be a prideful gleam in their eyes as they admit they have no foundation of truth or even a system of beliefs which guide them in their everyday lives.
Our culture’s love affair with apathy, relativism, hopelessness and the profane is like an adulterous love affair with failure. There is no sense of responsibility or concern for the future lives of growing children. Sexuality is presented as an activity or form of entertainment that should be experienced for the pleasure, but need not be attached to love, commitment and responsibility.
“The latest episode of focusing on failure can be plainly seen on the trash that is the required reading in so many English classes. Out of the hundreds of thousands of books available for educating freshman, books such as Girl, Interrupted are the novels of choice. The choice is defended under the title of being real. These memoirs of author Suzanna Kaysen’s hospitalization in a mental institution at age 18 contain graphic descriptions of sexual acts and suicide. ” Is this the best picture of the real we can offer to kids in English class. Who’s reality is this? Maybe the school districts in this country get major discounts for books written by feminists and others who are so distorted in their sense of real reality.
When the concerned parents of these children demand answers and a change in the message of what real is and should be, are they scolded and then ridiculed for pushing their values on a school system where values should never exist?
Values? Is there anything we do or say or think about sex that doesn’t involve making a values choice? Values-neutral? Who are they kidding? Values-neutral? Impossible! There is an inherent responsibility for passing on worthwhile values to our children, guiding adolescents in their responsible sexual and social values.
Believe it or not, everyone has values, even teachers! Their values may be moral or immoral, but they are still values. Many times, while screaming, ” separation between church and state“, their values, like a tape worm on an intestine, feed off words like “reality”, “freedom”, and “choice”. The awesome gift of sex and it’s supernatural power can bring such immense joy and harmony when it is given it’s due respect and order, but can totally mess up the minds and hearts of those who abuse it. It’s tragic that this gift is desecrated the “value-free” educators of the world, then forced fed to our unsuspecting young.

Sex has become a commodity to modern, western society. So as we have Free Trade, so do we have Free Love (sex). Both consumerism and sexuality need to be moored to solid principles to prevent drifting into chaos. The World doesn’t like chastity or continence in neither trade nor sex.

I guess there is something to be said about prosperity. It can be a blessing, but so often it makes us fat and lazy. Tragedy and tribulations often has a way of putting things into perspective and make us take notice of what really counts.
