"In many ways our culture has lost its sense of values; I worry about a generation that's been brought up afraid to make choices for fear of offending someone.
Multiculturalism teaches us that all cultures should be valued at the same level. Society teaches us that there's no such thing as evil, it all depends on your environment. School leaders try to tell us that boys and girls are the same, when any parent knows better. We've become a culture afraid to make judgments and proscribe values to anything because of our overwhelming fear of offending.
But something inside knows that's not true. Some choices are better than others. Some decisions make sense and others don't.
Values matter."

Right is still right even if no one else is doing it; wrong is still wrong even if everyone else is doing it.
