There’s a battle going on between the patriarchal forces of this world, which focus on truth and virtue, and the emotional forces of this world, which focus on “follow your heart” and “don’t judge”. The patriarchal forces know that evil is afoot, and they want to confront it. The emotional forces believe that judging is the root of all evil, because it makes some people feel bad.

Here’s an article from Daily Caller that shows how the emotional forces work.

It says:

New Hampshire’s first elected transgender representative was hit with federal charges for the sexual exploitation of children Tuesday, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Stacie Marie Laughton was charged with aiding and abetting in addition to one count of child exploitation in relation to former intimate partner Lindsay Groves, according to a DOJ press release. Laughton and Groves allegedly had over 10,000 text messages discussing and transferring explicit photographs that Groves took while employed as a daycare worker at Creative Minds daycare, a forensic review revealed from Groves’ cellphone, according to the DOJ.

At this point, I want to mention that of course this person is a Democrat. People on the secular left have enormous problems with morality. They are able to ape the moral conventions of the people around them, but when they are alone, there is simply no reason for them to control themselves. People like this lawmaker become active in politics because they want to prevent people with genuine morality from judging them or punishing them for their actions. This is why atheists are so active in politics. They are actively seeking to escape judgment and punishment for their immorality. Atheists vote overwhelmingly for the Democrat party. They want to undermine the moral laws that protect the weak and vulnerable.

Laughton was arrested on June 23 on child porn charges after Nashua police were alerted about a juvenile matter and spoke to individuals who allegedly indicated Laughton distributed explicit images of children

The texts allegedly included four sexually explicit images of children who appeared to be three to five years old. Messages also discussed explicit descriptions of sex between the two partners and others, with mentions of children, according to the DOJ.

If I had to pick one place where the emotional / don’t-judge forces have their headquarters, I would pick the daycares and the public schools.  In these places, emotions rule. Moral standards are all but non-existent. The religion is “don’t judge”. And people who “don’t judge” have no way to tell good from evil. When they are tempted to do something, they do it. The only calculation is “will I get caught”.

As for moral standards, they think of those as customs that are valid for a time and place. Like cooking conventions . Or clothing conventions. They don’t believe that the universe is designed by a Designer who made the moral law. They don’t actually believe that morality applies to humans like math applies to humans. And they certainly don’t believe that God will hold them accountable for their moral choices. In fact, atheism is motivated by nothing more than the retreat from accountability to God. It’s not something that people become convinced of because of evidence. It’s something that people want to be true, so that they can pursue pleasure without any constraints or accountability.

Many teachers and administrators in our daycares and schools are insulated from the real world. The are not experienced at linking causes and effects, the way that private sector workers – blue collar or white collar – regularly do. Teachers are administrators are generally not inclined accept that people who make poor decisions should be “punished” with real world consequences. They are also not responsive to customers in a competitive private sector workplace. They don’t feel any responsibility to treat children well. After all, their pay and benefits has nothing to do with the quality of their work. Private sector workers have to work hard in order to make their employers profitable, so they can keep their jobs. These two conditions: disconnection from the consequences imposed by reality, and disconnection from the need to please customers, make it easy for teachers to break the moral law. That’s why “don’t judge” comes from the public schools.

What should we do? Well,  we need to pass school choice, so that parents can have their kids educated by people who are more connected to reality, and more responsible to the parents who pay them. At the very least, we should insist that people who want to be teachers have 2+ years of private sector experience. And teacher unions should be abolished. That would be the best, but at the very least, no one should have to pay union dues in order to work as a teacher. Teacher unions are one of the greatest forces for evil in this world. It’s very strange to me that people who believe in morality are sometimes confused about this. You just have to look at here the union dues go to see that what they really believe.

By the way, I noticed that one of the major gay rights groups in America took down their post celebrating the first openly transgender lawmaker. Here is the archived version. Why do you think they would do that?
