What are we doing to our children?The leaked news that the Supreme Court may be about to overturn its controversial 1973 Roe v. Wade decision has sent political shock waves across America. It’s also given new life to the left’s faux trope about “the right’s war on women.”But if we take a step back and take an honest look at the bigger picture, the real war being waged in America is the left’s war against our own children.Have we fully considered how many of our children will be able to survive the life-altering gauntlet that the left has put in front of them?It was the phraseology in President Joe Biden’s recent comment about women having the right to choose to “abort a child” that crystalized this thought process in my mind.For children, not being aborted is only the first obstacle in the left’s gauntlet. Just think about it:—Even if children survive by not being aborted in the womb, or, as some extremists from the left have proposed, being aborted up to a few weeks after birth …—Even if young students are not emotionally damaged, beginning at the lowest grades in school, by being exposed to complex sexual issues and graphic sexual images and concepts that are well beyond their age to comprehend …—Even if many adolescents are able to maintain their self-confidence, despite attempts to purposefully confuse them by teaching them to question their inner selves with regard to race and gender …—Even if our children are not coerced to alter the sanctity of their God-given biology, despite the overt efforts by school officials to glorify transitioning to another gender … —Even if youth who have gender dysphoria survive government-sanctioned emotional brainwashing, surgical mutilation, and chemical castration, and do not commit suicide …—Even if middle and high school students can avoid the trauma of inappropriate or criminal sexual contact by teachers, coaches, pastors, priests, camp counselors, and other adults in authority positions …—Even if the rulings of our next new Supreme Court justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is soft on sex offenders and whose proclivity is to side with convicted child predators instead of victimized children and families, don’t give the sexually deviant more of an incentive to prey upon our children …—Even if young women aren’t discouraged from participating in healthy athletics because their sport is dominated by males who say they are females …—Even if students don’t suffer long-term consequences from harmful mask mandates and vaccinations that never should have been imposed or recommended for them …—Even if students somehow graduate from schools that don’t adequately prepare them to become a productive and proud member of our society, instead trying to turn them into political advocates …—Even if our children grow into psychologically and physically secure young adults, despite continual prompts to view themselves as victims and part of some aggrieved identity-politics group …—Even if they navigate this outrageous gantlet that the left has erected …With the weight of all of this upon their shoulders, what are the odds—and how can we expect—that we will have raised a generation of Americans with the strength and wisdom to care properly for themselves, their families, and their country?Most of these issues shouldn’t fall within the purview of schools. No one-size-fits-all, government-centric approach ever can adequately address the diverse needs and values of America’s melting pot of families.Indeed, education on these issues must come from only within the private walls of each family’s domain. We seem to have forgotten that parents are the true and ultimate teachers of our children.Only with an intimate understanding of each young person, developing as a unique individual—as only a close family member may truly know—should these issues be addressed.In extreme circumstances, for instance, absent a stable family environment or with deeply troubled youth, public dollars can provide families with choices to seek private, professional therapy.But the left’s strategy to indoctrinate our youth is nowhere near over.The next major issue will be claims of the declining mental health of our nation’s youth—and it might be true to some extent. And, of course, the agenda-driven left will be ready to rush in with its latest prescriptions and school curricula, including destructive policies that will further advance its agenda and, ultimately, only make matters worse.However, what you and I know—and what I presume the left also knows but will never admit—is that it was the left’s prescriptions that caused whatever mental health issues may exist in the first place.These are purposefully inflicted wounds that will leave lifelong scars on our nation’s most precious assets.So again: What are we doing to our children?https://www.dailysignal.com/2022/05/09/the-lefts-war-on-children/
