Clyburn Urges Values for Children
When he was a child, James Clyburn’s father would require him and his siblings to recite a Bible verse in the morning and a current event each night before bedtime.
The 67-year-old third-ranking Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives said those simple requirements each day helped bring a much-needed balance to his life.
It’s something, he told a crowd at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Mothers Conference on Saturday night at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, that is missing in American households these days.
There is no doubt that American society has been suffering from a moral decay for decades now. Clyburn is correct in that it starts at home with good parenting. So many parents don’t seem to be taking the time today to actually raise their children.
