“I saw the ugly dysfunctional behavior that TV was always promoting because I was raised without television in early life and had a Catholic education....with nuns teaching logic and knowledge in the tradition of Bacon/Newtonian methodology.”
*************
T.V. is virtually non-existent in our home.
Unfortunately, our children (grades 5, 3, and pre-K) are not getting taught by logic teaching nuns in our Catholic school. Instead, they bring home “end of school year” DVD’s featuring Godless secular music from such homo, dirt loving singers as Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and others who promote materialism, sex, violence, drugs and the new age agenda.
We are currently deciding whether or not to allow them to continue in this hypocrisy. At least in the local public school we can blame it the government and secular world.
Parents are the ultimate educators of children, as it is meant to be. It helps to have supportive institutions, but not necessary. I would go to homeschooling or get together with a few parents and hire a tutor rather than waste my children’s time with garbage. Time is too important and their worldview and the ideas transmitted to them determine who they are to a large extent and what they value in life.
All you need is 4 hours a day and with resources on the internet and homeschool networks you would be amazed at the fantastic resources that are out there for those who search for it.
I can never understand how parents allow dysfunctional ideas to be promoted to their young children and think they are not powerful and affect their identity. Images, particularly, are very powerful and have lasting effect on the brain. Goebbels and Lenin and Stalin and Mao have always understood the power of images. TV presented a very powerful tool for propaganda—much better than radio. Hitler used movies.
The promotion of the homosexual fantasy of the perfect woman—Twiggy— led to eating disorders in girls to an extent never realized in a society prior to this little-boy-look that most homosexuals fantasize about. Images are easier for the young children to process and understand and they have great power to shape thought and determine beauty and “normal”.
NO, you can't. Not if YOU'RE the parents!
