Of "Balloon Boys" and "Teachable Moments"
Every once in a while a story so bizarre captures our 24-hour-a-day news cycle and the mainstream media run with it.
A few years ago it was the "Runaway Bride" from whom there was no escape.
Over the weekend, a "Balloon Boy" named Falcon was thought to have floated away. Today, his parents are under the cloud of suspicion that the whole thing was a publicity stunt, and they may be found to have endangered their children.
The media seem very, very concerned about the children.
Let's imagine a telling scenario:
Suppose you had neighbors who said that they were raising their child to become a homosexual. Would you respond with "open minded" enthusiasm or sheer disgust?
I hope that you would recognize that horrible child abuse was going on.
Why?
Because our collective moral intuition is outraged by this unnatural and immoral life choice.
Let's delve further.
How would this neighbor go about this experiment?
The only way is to expose a child at an early an age as possible to adult sexual appetites.
Adult sexuality is an inappropriate subject matter for kids. Western Civilization has always recognized the inherently exploitive nature of adult-child activities of this nature and has universally condemned them.
Seeing that this is axiomatic (an argument that is beyond question), ask yourself another question.
Why do we allow government schools to do this with OUR tax dollars?
That is the entire point of "GLBS (gay, lesbian, bi, straight) Alliance" groups on California campuses.
That is the entire point of the ACLU suing the Boy Scouts of America to force them to expose little boys to adult male homosexuals as "Scout Masters."
That is the entire point of homosexual groups seeking to LOWER age of consent laws (as they have succeeded to do in Canada, the UK and much of Europe).
And THAT is the entire point of the Schwarzenegger-signed "Harvey Milk Day" law.
Why would you be horrified and outraged if your neighbor did that, but oblivious if the local kindergarten, elementary school and other taxpayer funded "educational centers" do it?
Has the mainstream media delved into the reasons behind the Harvey Milk Day? Of course not because they really don't care about children. They care about pushing an agenda and getting ratings.
