Thoughts on Society
In observing life in our world today through not only my eyes, but those of my wife and my daughter at the age of 15 years, I find that Sexual harrassment is a modern day black plauge which strangely enough isn't cured yet. Most recently, my daughter Jamie has informed both myself and my wife Dawn of the overall INFECTION of this DISEASE.
Living in Huntsville Alabama where the school systems are already seriously lacking in funds, Butler High School appears to have a problem with teaching that Sexual Harrassment is wrong and ILLEGAL. She has relayed stories of numerous girls being harrassed either verbally or through written notes. My wife andI even intercepted one of these notes that was passed to our daughter by a male student. Upon reading this note, this young PUNK put in written form the desire to kiss our daughter's breasts and to see her rear endoutside of her jeans. He also went in to more desires which I will not relay here.
Is it so hard to understand that this in UNACCEPTABLE behavior from any person no matter the age? My wife
and I took this note and others to our Daughter's counselor and Vice-Principle who did the right thing. This was to pull the student into an office, sit him down and inform him of the seriousness of the offense. We had even contemplated filing criminal charges against him, but also informed the school that we would let them handle it for now. Yet we find out that other girls are experiencing the same thing.
Teachers should also be trained in the difference between right and wrong. Should we as parents be allowing schools to hire or keep on teachers that willingly defy a parents right to raise their children? By this I site an example of a male teacher who assisted a female student at 15 years old to find an abortion clinic instead of counseling her on how best to approach her parents and let her parents assist her in making the right decision for HER. If we continue to allow such REPREHENSIBLE creatures to teach our children then we only aid in the spread of the DISEASE. Yet we are the activator for the cure.
Being Active Duty Army we are given classes on a quarterly basis on Sexual Harrassment. The Military has a ZERO TOLERANCE for this DISEASE. Women have fought long and hard for the level of equality they now hold which is by no means equal by any standard, but is better than where they were just 10 years ago. Why is it that our children are not being given the same classes on Sexual Harrassment? High School is the perfect time for our children to begin learning to control their sexual urges. The Freshmen year in high school is when puberty kicks in full force and if our children are taught properly they will be given a head start on the keys to survival in the REAL WORLD.
The time has come for the parents of the Nation and World to take a stand as well as take back control of raising our youth. We as parents must demand REAL WORLD classes for our children to prepare them for life after High School. To allow our children to live with the belief that what they experience in high school is the same as what they will be exposed to after graduation is not only neglect but naieve and idiotic. School is not only about learning what is in the books but also about learning leasons which prepare our youth for adult life. This should include accountability and consequences for their actions.
As for the Adults of this World, its time for those of us who believe in what's Right to attack the DISEASE when we see it trying to spread. My Wife recently experienced another encounter with the DISEASE from a male who felt it necessary to stare directly at her crotch then slowly move his way up to her chest and finally made eye contact, though the contact he got was not held long by him since it was accountablity staring back at him. Men, this is a call to you especially, if you conduct yourself in this manner, STOP NOW!!!!!!! If you see it happening, STOP IT!!!!!! Teach your sons and your daughters what is acceptable and what is not. Women, put the pressure on your men to defend your honor and take up the values of the Old Code. Chivilary is not dead, its not fogetten, it just needs to be taught and encouraged. Make it fruitfull and allow the Old Code to Multiply.
