CRAWFORD: If not conservative leaders, who can we depend on to teach our children virtues, morality?

BILL CRAWFORD — America struggling to provide moral examples for children

If not our conservative leaders, what institutions can we depend upon today to teach our children virtues and morality?

Thomas Jefferson said this was the responsibility of our public schools. But, many fail in this duty.

So, we rely on our churches. But, many Americans are un-churched. According to the Gallup Poll, 46 percent of Americans are not members of a church or synagogue and only 36 percent of Americans attend services regularly.

As the Great Seal heralds with the motto ANNUIT COEPTIS above the Eye of Providence, we count on God’s favor of our undertakings. Will God continue to smile on a nation that shucks its commitment to morality?
