In 1967, Pierre Trudeau famously declared: “There’s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.” Forty years later, we now find the state in the bedroom’s of our children. Nor are these two moments unrelated. Indeed, Trudeau’s utopia for consenting adults requires such invasive indoctrination. Far from removing the state from the private sphere of individual life, Trudeau’s transformative social project requires the mobilization of the entire apparatus of the state to suppress the institutions which have created the status quo. Trudeau, thus, did not create a re-regulated forum for differing opinions about sexual mores, but instead, undermined religion as a valid source for social policy and moral truth. To create this new beginning, education had to become re-education; parents could not be trusted with toeing the party line. To reshape society to adhere to a progressive ideology, the liberal state must become involved in the indoctrination known as “sexual education.” Modern statist progressivism requires a deep disrespect for the role of parents and their sovereign right as primary educators.If there's no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation, then maybe there should also be no place for individuals' bedrooms in the state-run institutions?
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and you have done everything to stand. (Ephesians 6:13)
