Title: Teaching Children the Truth
Topic: Moral Relativism
Discussed by Glenn Stanton
with Focus on the Family www.Family.org
You may have heard about or seen a
viral video making its way around social media in which a 5’9” white, male journalist asked college students if it was acceptable for him to say he is a 6’5” Asian woman. Well, as you can imagine, the liberal students at the
University of Washington had some pretty off-the-wall responses to Joseph Backholm, who is the Director of the
Family Policy Institute of Washington and the journalist in the video.
Today, we have Focus on the Family spokesperson, Glenn Stanton, on the show to break down the very obvious problems which this video raises. What Joseph Backholm attempted to prove in his video was that a man can say he is a woman by wearing a dress, but someone cannot change their nationality or height because that would be ludicrous! The video would be funny if it wasn’t such an accurate depiction of the way so many millennials feel in our current society.
Glenn states: “The students were living consistently with that misguided worldview that we can’t really tell anybody that they’re wrong with their own story. And that’s the sad place we’ve come to because of the politics surrounding these issues.” There is nothing in these laws that punishes a man for simply claiming to be a woman. A man does not have to dress like a woman. A man does not need a note from a doctor saying he is undergoing gender reassignment surgery. He is not wrong and he can go into whatever room he wants to go into.
How do we teach our children the truth? Glenn recommends showing this viral video to your children and discuss the reasons why it was made in the first place. “We don’t have to be ugly or judgmental to people,” he states. But we do need to face reality. This issue is not going away any time soon; in fact, it will probably only become harder to ignore. Don’t wait until your kids are already lost to the left. Teach them now what the truth really is.
