Opinion in Brief

Rebecca Hagelin: “America is in the midst of a huge, sordid sex scandal. As horrific as it is to have so much alleged sexual harassment and abuse coming to light from Hollywood to the halls of Congress and seemingly everywhere in-between, worse still is the reality that we should not be surprised. For several decades American culture has been fed a steady diet of highly sexualized leftist movies, television shows and advertisements. Pornography abounds on the Internet, and sleazy magazines that used to be hidden from view and read in secret are now boldly on display at the grocery store checkout counter. And I’m not referring to just ‘men’s’ journals either. Among the most sexualized magazines today are those written for America’s teen daughters. Graphic ‘sex education,’ for crying out loud, is even forced on innocent little kindergarteners. Homosexuality and transgender ideology are so pervasive and ‘acceptable’ that such individuals touting their sexual preferences and perversions are given awards, accolades and their own TV shows. Yet we are collectively shocked that sexual harassment is so pervasive? Adults love to dump on teens and talk about ‘these kids today.’ As it turns out, an entire generation of liberal adults — now older — first ushered in the cultural sewage in which America’s children continue to drown. Most of the men accused of sexual exploitation and harassment are of the same generation that has been producing the garbage media for decades. And just like any untreated infection, the rot and rotten behavior have spread to virtually every demographic, political persuasion and faith background.”
