Time to teach some morals instead of politicking: iLIVE

Shouldn't we be teaching our society morals instead of politicking all the time ("Born to be dumped", yesterday)?
Imagine how much good could have been done had politicians used media space to educate young adults about sex and its implications instead of busing them in to defend political issues.
We live in an uneducated society, one in which children are not only denied their constitutional right to proper sex education, but in which morals are shamefully not reinforced by our leaders.
To address issues such as rape, unwanted teen pregnancies and respect for women, we need to give more column space to morals.
