June 28, 2011 Commentary Teaching Kids Right from Wrong

Here is a story that makes me question if we are doing a good job of teaching kids what evil is. Parents in an Arkansas town are outraged after a middle school yearbook published the names of former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney in a list of the "worst" people of all time. It was a short list. At the top was Adolph Hitler, followed by Osama bin Laden, Charles Manson -- and then Bush and Cheney.

Jerry Cox, founder and president of the Arkansas Family Council, says the yearbook advisor is ultimately responsible. > It looks to me like some kids at this school along with some school leaders need to be taken to the woodshed. Of course it might help if adults would explain what evil is. Good people might disagree on issues but just because you don't agree with another soul doesn't make them evil. )

What do you think.
