I think what concerns me the most about this article is the comment by Brooks that "Many of these shortcomings will sort themselves out as these youngsters get married..." In an age where young adults are moving AWAY from church and institutions that provide moral guidance in record numbers, how does he arrive at this conclusion?
If anything, these young people will raise their own children with a greater sense of moral relativism and, to use the word from the article, emotivism. It is up to us, as not only educators but also Lasallian teachers, to provide the moral clarity that these young men seem to be lacking, according to the study.
