Here it is 2018. Do we have young men today with the character and the ability to stand up for what is right? Do they even know the difference between right and wrong?
The young men of the 1770's were taught straight from the Bible. They learned how to read and write scriptures. Today, God is not even allowed in schools except as an "extra-curricular" activity, if there is an adult who leads.
In the 1770's, young men were taught how to protect their families. They were mostly farmers and did hard work all day long - from before sun up to past sun down. Today, a great many are on drugs, are watching TV, are already in jails, or have no ambition at all.
In the 1770's these young men were helping to build a new nation. They had a purpose. Their parents were proud of them, expecting them to take over the family business one day. Today, many young men have no father to lead them, no father to give them good advice, no father to show them how to be a man. Many are raised by a single mother, who is out working and has little or no time for them either.
So is there a problem? So what do we do about it? Do we ignore it? Do we wait for it to become worse? Do we imprison more young men? Or perhaps we go back to 1770's and teach from the Bible again?
What do you think?
