‘Lax Teaching of Values’

Share

Look who’s talking. “We the people--and our schools--must share the blame for young Americans whose education did not give them a full understanding of democratic institutions, the obligations of democratic citizenship and the vast moral difference between free and unfree societies.” This scolding is by Jeane Kirkpatrick who openly embraced and exchanged gifts with the Argentine military dictator responsible for the reign of terror of the Disappeareds. This is from the United States representative to the United Nations who was openly contemptuous of that institution, the only world forum for cooperation between nations.

What values, Jeane?
