Part 2 Wehave seen a system of moral values, which has been inserted into our public education system, based on Dewey's atheistic ideas. This is a system which depends solely on the individuals interpretation of what is "right" or "wrong." There are no "absolutes," there is no "black" and "white," only shades of "grey" which change as the situation changes. This has become known as "situation ethics." It is the thing which has sponsored such popular declarations as: "If it makes you feel good, do it!" Or "You only go around once in life, so live with gusto!" At Ohio State University, a few years ago, on the "abortion issue," during the Question and Answer period, a lovely young co-ed asked the question: "If we are not allowed to have abortions, how will we control the population explosion?" When it was asked of her if she had ever heard about something called "self-control," you would have thought from the reaction of the audience, that she had been slapped her in the face! Here was an audience of several hundred young people, who were about to go out into life on their own, yet they had never been taught that they had the right to choose between "good" and "evil." Instead, they had been taught that they were completely controlled by their environment. (Later it was discovered that this young woman, who saw nothing wrong in the murder of two million unborn babies a year, was head of a university organization that was trying to protect baby seals in Newfoundland. This is how modern education turns our young people into mindless hypocrites.) Under the Dewey concept of morality, there is no such thing as the "sanctity of human life," for after all, what does it matter, if we are only "graduate animals"? This reminds me of a poem I heard somewhere, titled THE MONKEY'S VIEWPOINT: "Three monkeys sat in a coconut tree, discussing things as they're said |
