Britney Spears has been the hottest thing on Yahoo! searches for months (years?), so I thought I should add my commentary on this {ahem} pressing cultural force. Poor Britney turned her back on the very thing that gave parents the ability to relax about her influence on their kids. "It's o.k. if our girls dress like sluts, they can still make good choices, like Brittney." When Justin split and her career took a dive, she held to her fame and fortune and began the climb into the deeper pits of what passes for modern American entertainment. This, of course, includes lesbian kissing. Why wouldn't it? Don't misunderstand. Britney is not really a lesbian. She just plays one on t.v. and actually has very high standards regarding who she makes out with. When does this maddness end? Even the properly promiscuous British think Britney went a little far on this one. Unlike the British educational establishment, I think the answer is better parenting. We can blame media (and should), society (rarely helpful), liberals (always fun), and education (tsch, tsch) - but ultimately the responsibility for children stands with the parents. I am about to have my first child (actually I delegated that to my wife) and I hope to raise him well in the ways of the Lord. With parents like Britney's as examples, I know what parenting mumbo-jumbo to stay clear of. I will trust in the words of Proverbs 22:6 : "Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it."
