What's needed here is not government control but **spiritual revival** across this nation. Also...As conservatives, we must close down the socialist-funded, godless, government schools and get the nation's children into private conservative educational settings. Do that and in 10 to 20 years we will see a change for the better.

I homeschooled 3 of my children. ( No TV etc.) But...It was impossible to fully shield them from society's influences.

Even though we attended a conservative church the other youngsters in the congregation did attend government school. Then there were the neighbors, and our extended family and their children. Even in the places like the dentist's office their were common magazines with photos in the articles and advertisements that would have been considered pornography not so long ago.

Again...Our nation is in desperate need of spiritual revival.

“What’s needed here is not government control but **spiritual revival** across this nation.”

As your reply is to me, I hope you’re not suggesting or assuming I support government control. I support saying, “no.” I support saying, “no, that’s not appropriate reading” if a child picks up a magazine that might have offensive pictures. I support raising my child by Christian values and pointing out the sharp divide between that and our current culture. Christians are to be in this world and not of it, and teach our children that. My child has been exposed to a lot, but as a parent, I’ve tried to be diligently there to point out right from wrong and good from evil. I didn’t even have to be a “hover parent” to do that. I just controlled the tv the first 6 or so years of her life and was there for her.
