Who Decides? You or the Government?

    Who do you think should have the last word in deciding what your children are taught about sex?  Who should decide what sort of moral values your children are taught?  Would you like your children taught that there is no "Right to Life," only a woman's "Right to Choose?"  Are you willing to have your children taught in a government school that there is no moral difference between a one-man, one-woman marriage and a homosexual relationship between two women or two men?  Is it OK with you if the government convinces them that there are no Absolute Values, but only Personal Choices?
    If so, you're a fortunate person.  Great Britain, within their program of socialized medicine, is encouraging citizens to talk about the big issues of life with their children.  But, unfortunately, not in a manner calculated to instill the values held by the parent.  No, the parent should merely encourage the child to make his or her own decision, with no reference to parental authority or any other absolute.  No rules except, perhaps, whatever capricious rules the government might choose to put in place.
    My good friend Graham Weeks, who is a pharmacist in that country, shares some information that the government would have their medical community distribute to citizens for their enlightenment.  Read it and let me know what you think.  If you're a citizen of the United States you really ought to give this some consideration, because the new president of the United States is promising to bring socialized medicine to this country.
