Note that these organizations helping girls are always helping them with math, science, leadership skills, and so on but never promote being a good wife and mother. Hmmm. Are those vital roles out of fashion? If girls don't aspire to be good wives and mothers, what will happen to the country?

Also on the other side of the coin, we need to promote the idea of being a good husband and father in men too. I might be having a Michael Savage moment here but if we don't fight to preserve the moral foundations along with the basic traditional ways of life that has made this country great such as family values and so on, we do deserve to lose to whatever comes along. The first priority in anything is our survival, if we don't do that, we will lose anyhow. We will be ourbred by the Third World and the Islamo-Fascists while chasing the "bling" (goodies of a hedonistic lifestyle, a word from the hip-hop subculture) with unbridled greed. I remember Glenn Beck talked about this on his show a few times to where we are too busy being ultra-consumers as the expense of family and so on and I think this plays into all of this as well. I remember Beck said that on average, we were better off under the type of America we had under the 48 star flag and I have to agree with him.

Sure, I have nothing against anyone and everyone learning things like math and science and so on. One needs to know how to think logically as well as have basic job skills to fall back on, but it should be taught in tandem with family values and skills.

I could not agree with you more. Lots of money and what money can buy doesn't make any individuals happy and it doesn't make for happy family life. Solid marriages and family members truly caring about each other and spending time together is what makes people happy. (Leaving aside the transcendent...)

I don't know if you are old enough to remember billboards saying "Families who pray together stay together". I remember them.
