Carson: Declining family and faith eroding culture, but hope remains if society recommits to traditional values
-
Carson argues that Marxist beliefs have infiltrated American culture, targeting the family and religion, leading to declines in marriage, two-parent households, and religious affiliation.
-
He claims the breakdown of family and faith has led to moral relativism and problems like drug use, sexual promiscuity, fiscal irresponsibility, disrespect, hatred, decreased patriotism and faith.
-
Carson points to studies showing children raised in single-parent homes are more likely to grow up in poverty, drop out of high school, and end up in the criminal justice system.
-
He is optimistic the culture can improve if individuals and families fight to protect and restore the traditional family's influence in shaping values and identity.
-
Carson calls on Americans to get involved in their communities and support policies to reshape the culture and return it to cherishing traditional values.
