so by correlation, the "big evil society" is at fault, not the parent?  

please.

Parents can only do so much. While I generally think parents can do more
than they do these days, it's also very hard to teach her children right
from wrong. I've been through it with my step-son, whom I raised for 
about
half his life. Both my wife and I are very sure of our moral position 
and
have tried our best to teach him right from wrong. But between what he 
got
in school and what he got from the mass media, he displays no signs of
accepting any moral code. Not that he's a bad person or evil or does a 
lot
of bad things, but the opinions he expresses or the positions he takes 
when
he's been caught, say, lying, are those of a situational ethicist. I 
find it
very disturbing. My only hope is that as he gets older, as often happens
with teen-agers, our words and our lessons will start to make more 
sense.

did you go to public school?

i did.

it's not the school's issue.  it's the parents of the child in question.

today from their youth.
Politically correct morons and murderers.
