As I see it, the problem is generated by the degree in which secular humanism and rationalism has infected our language and culture.
This elevation of an unspecific class or group, children, with a artifical sentimentality of innocence, is used as a trump on all true Judeac/Christian Virtues.
As an example, Honor your parents, becomes trumped by the priority of the nebulous child and the annoited leftist gets to qualify virtue.
The Children begins to substitute for God in the end. All the time the invented listes of Crisis are pushed forward for a central solution, by government, and through the facilitation of the only ones capable of understanding, the Annointed of the Englightened Left.
It is a lie.
