The Right to Purity

How our nation treats our young people's innocence reveals the goodwill or lack of it among the leaders.  Every one of us is born a virgin, and the leaders of our institutions reveal their true motives towards their charges as they follow policies that either strengthen the resolve of our youth to exercise self control until marriage, or they feel that virginity is worthless, yet they take much interest in defrauding youth of it, or encouraging policies that defraud youth of it. For example, universities used to have strict visitation policies and chaperones that were just as much a part of the college experience as classes and exams.  How is it that we have dormitories that have been described in books such as Binge, as sites of a year-long orgy of drugs, alcohol, and sex?  How did the guardians of these universities decide to do away with chaperones and curfews, and to allow and to even encourage hedonistic promiscuity?  How did we get from Leave It to Beaver to Woodstock? From creating a family, a haven for children, and instead fostering hedonistic anarchy and children of chaos?  Some of the stories from the last century will shed some light on the ravaging of American universities.
