What's Going On Here?
Parenting (and being a kid) used to
be simple- Bad behavior got you spanked,
in school, in church, at home. Corporal
(body) Punishment worked perfectly for a very long time.
America produced a population of hard working, thrifty, honest people with high moral fiber and rock solid knowledge of right and wrong coming from a belief in a "higher all-knowing authority" to be answered to. The crime rate was low and juvenile crime was unheard of.
Dr. Benjamin Spock first published his book Baby and Child Care in 1946. Sometime in the 1960’s, his parenting theories gained popularity. In the early 1970’s those theories became LAW as a EXPERIMENT in SOCIAL ENGINEERING. Corporal punishment became essentially FORBIDDEN.
See statement of Gerald Rowles, a consulting psychologist
The grand old concept of "Swift, Sure Punishment" is gone.
The agencies that were created to dispense the "New Age" and the "social workers" they employ (See ''The New Class"), all operate on the THEORY that troubled kids are CREATED by their ENVIRONMENT of "abusive parenting".

Behavior Management became an ineffective "science" of "complex psychological techniques" (quote from "Love & Logic manual)- including Time Out, Chair Sitting, and Grounding.

Parents and schools have NEVER been
provided with EFFECTIVE ALTERNATE
TOOLS for behavior management.

Cases of parents being TERRORIZED by CPS agencies for spanking have been WELL PUBLICIZED. When it became obvious to parents their ability to parent had been completely undermined (this does not mean just SPANKING), and they had no tools to parent with, parents have had little choice but give up to "let the kids raise themselves".
Today’s parents have no way to provide a healthy WORK ENVIRONMENT for kids to grow up in. A parent can hardly prevent a child’s exposure to VIOLENT movies and video games.
So we have produced a generation of
LAZY, SELFISH, UNDISCIPLINED kids who have been trained by
"Doom", "Mortal Kombat" and
Self Esteem
instruction.
We believe this
generation when they become parents may be the most
abusive of their children in HISTORY because of their
extreme selfishness, self-centeredness, inconsideration, and complete lack
of empathy and self-discipline.
Nation-wide, kids have become rebellious, troubled, DANGEROUS.
They are "The Predator Generation"- The Kids without a conscience.
The rash of school shootings has firmly established in the public awareness that SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG with our society.

Like Russia’s experiment with communism, America’s experiment with "New-Age liberalism" has run it’s course, and HAS ALREADY reached it’s conclusion AS A DISASTROUS FAILURE.
