Raising America: Experts, Parents, and A Century Of Advice About Children

Just another biased liberal democrat...

How special. Hulbert is yet another liberal democrat. She talks about democrats being good, tough parents? Maybe Kerry should have read that. His daughter was embarrassing, running down the ASU hallway after the debates saying bad things about Bush. Maybe a calm, collected interview would have been more appropriate. Fact is Kerry's daughter showed very little class. Something I have come to expect from dems....

Loving America's Children.

The author used this article to focus on the right of gays to marry. If a 'valid' study is ever conducted on homosexuals versus Heterosexuals raising children, I think the results will greatly relect little difference between the groups with the heterosexuals coming out on top with a slighty higher percentag. It makes no difference to children who raises them as long as they are loved. Unless a child is abused mentally, physically, or forced to accept a way of life he/she disagrees with. The old argument that a child who is raised by a gay person or couple will turn out be gay or sexually abused is no more valid than the belief that all hexterosexuals raises good healthly children. Sure some children will not be able to coupe with the stigma that comes from being raised by a gay person or couple, just as some children can't handle the stigma of their parents divorcing. Children has been abused by adults since time began. It didn't matter if the abuser was a parent, stranger, homesexual, or a religious person. Children needs protection from abuse. If we spend more time, loving teaching, and caring for them we wouldn't have this discussion. Sure, not all are going to do what they are taught, but does that mean we stop teaching, and loving. I don't think so. There is a little rebel in all of us. This short article isn't intended to support gay marriages, but rather to focus on the need to raise healthy children regardless of who the parents may be. One should always remember that ' societies and laws change as time moves on. I am heterosexual. R. Montgomery
