The woke family is bad for U.S.

The woke family is bad for U.S.

To the Editor:

The nuclear family in America has been the backbone of its strength. This sacred unit has been under attack since 1965 when then President Lyndon Baines Johnson along with its laws and policies of “The Great Society” gradually redefined “family.”

Children need their parents’ guidance and a childhood. It is not appropriate for young children to be educated by schools or woke corporations about what adults do behind closed doors regardless of sexual orientation. Parents, grandparents, and or legal guardians have the duty to decide when, where and how to teach them about not only sex itself, but also the responsibilities and respect for one another that should be the centerpiece of this discussion. Parents are the final arbiters for their children. The line has been drawn. 

Schools, teacher unions, and woke corporations need to cease, desist, and finally come to this realization.
