We are living in a time of great change–Yet some things endure– courage
and compassion, reverence and integrity, respect for differences of faith and
race. The values we try to live by never change. And they are instilled in us
by fundamental institutions, such as families, and schools, and religious
congregations. These institutions –the unseen pillars of civilization ? must
remain strong in America?”
All of us–parents, schools, government — must work together to counter
the negative influence of the culture, and to send the right messages to our
children.
