You don’t believe it’s a parent’s role to teach their kids critical thinking skills - to be able to discern what they hear in school or via the media?

Are you relying on the government or church to do that for you? Sounds like a parents role to me.

Parents definitely have to teach their children about truth and reality. My daughters are 25 and 30 years old and they both reject this woke garbage. It was easier to keep kids on the right track when they were in school. Today it comes at them from every angle. When they have kids of their own I will be there to help them keep their children safe from groomers.

Agreed. My parents didn’t even though they both are republican leaning and now I’m the only conservative among my brother and sister. I’m not trying to force my views on my children, but I’m explaining to them my point-of-view when they run into liberal idiocy.

Obviously I don’t want them to be leftist, but I want to be there to steer them into the right direction rather than forcing it on them. So far it’s working my son makes fun of the woke students at his school to me at home and he will listen to Steven Crowder videos that he found on his own without my prodding.

Of course it is the parents role.

However parents are out shouted by the media out gunned by schools libraries and any organization from scouts to the y. And many churches have toxic agendas.

It is easy to blame but hard to see or fix the poisonous culture that has become America. We are a shame on the world and the self righteous here and in other places blame puny parents for somehow not being able filter out the pure garbage that you and every other conservative adult in the country has permitted to exist!
