Parental Responsibilities

Parents are called to maintain a close watch on what and who influences our children. The media in particular, and the culture generally, aren’t exactly family-friendly influences. There are textbook and educratic influences in schools we must monitor. We don’t need to shelter our children from any sort of social life, nor do we need to hover over them and manage every interaction. We are, though, responsible for the ideas to which they are exposed and the people who have input in their lives.
Nearly every morning on my way into work I enjoy listening to a variety of radio stations, and usually tune in to the local news-talk outlet to hear talk show host Laura Ingraham. She is an engaging person, with a superb grasp of the issues and a very fast wit. She often interviews interesting people. And she has a book that calls our society back to personal responsibility, back to family values, back to sanity.
Laura came by Focus on the Family and the two-day interview we enjoyed with her was fascinating, stimulating and fun.

Comments on John Fuller's blog may not refer specifically to any current electoral candidate, or any measure on a current ballot – at any level of local, state, or federal government. Focus on the Family is a non-profit 501(c)(3) entity, and therefore cannot take a position on specific votes. Nor can we display any such statements on our Web sites. Likewise, we cannot discuss here the personal viewpoints of people like Dr. Dobson or Jim Daly on political candidates or ballot measures. Any posts to this forum which violate these rules will be removed. There is an alternative venue for this type of discussion. Some activities of this nature are undertaken by Focus on the Family Action, a 501(c)(4) organization, and its media outlet, Citizenlink. Citizenlink maintains an Election Forum of its own, where political discussions are allowed and welcomed so long as they comply with the posted guidelines.
