A thought-provoking book about agendas & politics & how they trickle into education, media, & our culture.
Looking to protect traditional values & parental rights, Marybeth Hicks gives notice through example & intellect as to why parents should pay attention.
Interesting points from book:
- socialism is easily instilled in children due to their limited understanding of justice
- the public costs of family breakdown among working class & poor communities exceed $112 billion/year (pg. 28)
- “America’s children are learning an entirely backward interpretation of separation of church & state – not that we are freely religious, but that our nation is meant to be religious-free”
- political messages in television shows…entertaining, yes…conversation openers, YES
- “The real cause of bullying is not intolerance for people who are different. It is a lack of conscience & character in the hearts & souls of our children.”
