Since 1968, when my essay “The Crisis of Our Times” appeared in the Congressional Record, I have written several books warning of the pernicious and subversive influence of the university-bred doctrine of moral and cultural relativism.

Relativism
If Morality Is Relative, Then I Can’t Be a Racist and Militant Vegans Can’t Fault Me for Eating Meat.
Moral relativism is a foundation of secular humanism. It’s the idea that no one can know or compel another person’s morality because it can’t. It’s an unintentional corollary to cultural appropriation (or maybe I have that reversed) – another stupid left-Wing idea.
I guess Parents who hate Indoctrination are having an effect – Poof!

Update: More NH Teachers Sign Pledge to Break the Law and Teach Critical Race Theory (CRT)
Ten days ago, we shared a list of New Hampshire Teachers. They signed the Zinn Education Project pledge to teach critical race theory and race-shame your children even if it was against the law. The list has gotten longer, and we have the names.
The relativism of the Left
Not relevance, just relativism. I’m getting to be at the point where I’m at a loss for words. I do dryly note that while the “man of 2018” above competed in a beauty contest and lost, he did beat out 20 actual women in the final rankings. Imagine being one of those ladies, trying one’s hardest, … Read more
Yes, There is Evil in the World
Secular relativism is a branch of progressivism that says evil is subjective. Relative. One transgendered man’s good is another’s evil. As such, evil does not exist. And for good measure, what few bad things there are can be contained by government oversight and policing. You don’t need to defend yourself. In fact, they’d appreciate it if you’d … Read more
Boy Scouts of America have just sacrificed themselves on the alter of Cultural Marxism (aka P.C.)
Morally Straight. I don’t think that phrase has any meaning any more in a world where secular loudmouths are trumping people of faith, where the ever changing mores (swinging from what used to be Politically Correct and “good” then is now Politically Incorrect and ‘bad’ longer now – simply on some group’s say-so) trump traditionally absolute values.
It used to, when right and wrong were absolutes but it seems nowadays everyone has their “own truth” and “what is right is what is I say it is” – some foundation for running an entire society, eh? However, those incremental socialists from the Franklin School (progenitors of Cultural Marxism cum Political Correctness) knew, along with Gramarcie, that Americans would never accept Socialism (and then to Communism) if its backer were absolutely open and truthful about their aims, their goals, and what American would lose in the process (sounds like most Democrats nowadays, doesn’t it? ). What was necessary was to keep nudging the culture to a tipping point that would sneak up all at once – and those that truly believed in God, traditional values, and the Constitution would, overnight, become a minority not because of the politics but because of the culture (which would then be expressed in politics). So, like minded sojourners infiltrated the inflection point: the churches, the media, the music, the arts, governmental policies towards the traditional family; all those things that could move the culture to where secular socialism would be acceptable. Media and newsrooms swung Left, in search of changing the world instead of reporting the news. Music, theater, and the arts moved into the direction that the only way to succeed was to ‘push the boundaries’ – that is, going from going past cultural norms to attacking them. Religious faith has been attacked both from within (turning from The Gospel of Individual Salvation and saving souls to some nebulous gospel of “social justice”) and without (by groups going “reverse judgementalism” to attack the pillars of faith as failing to rise to meet “current social needs of fairness, Political Correctness, and inclusion) with the attendant loss of faith in the younger generations (helped along, in no small part, by the radical Ivory Tower minions who are shielded by the tax dollars earned by those they actually attack – such work when you can get it). The goal has been to cut the knees out of traditional American society – so as to replace it with foreign ones. And the Boy Scouts have certainly been a traditional American value for over 100 years; no longer.
