The new source of divisiveness is the assault of secularism on religion.

It is our character that supports the promise of our future - far more than particular government programs or policies.

Government, obviously, cannot fill a child's emotional needs. Nor can it fill his spiritual and moral needs. Government is not a father or mother. Government has never raised a child, and it never will.

When you have an individual that is committed to killing someone else, you can`t expect a restraining order or the police to provide 24-hour protection.

It is ironic that anyone who appeals to religious values today runs the risk of being called 'divisive' or attacked as an enemy of pluralism.

If there is one thing educators can agree on, it's this: children do better in school when their parents get involved in their learning.

The formation of character in young people is educationally a different task from and a prior task to, the discussion of the great, difficult ethical controversies of the day.
