Education is supposed to be the backbone of America and as parents and educators alike we know the best teaching comes from that done by example. With this in mind, is anyone asking what we are teaching our kids by the examples that are coming through loud and clear by politicians, business executives, the media, sports and entertainment? If we were really thinking this through then we should not be surprised by the current happenings in and around America.
Mark Kirk, Republican candidate in IL, is the latest example of lies being told by a politician in order to get elected; so why is he still allowed to run? This should go for any candidate from any party; shouldn’t it? What about the lies BP told to all of us over the years? If someone would have said they can’t do business anymore until they can level with the public would we be in the Gulf mess we are in? You’ve heard it all before, steroids in sports, cheating on spouses, fraud, partisanship, prejudice, dummying down and the many other behaviors that we reward with our money and our time. We are here simply because we allowed it and we teach it by example.
