To make a valid decision on what to do about the current situation, a voter must also know how things work and what has worked or not worked in the past. Education is important. Liberals today discount history and focus on the present. They support what they call situation ethics. You look at the present situation and make a determination. Yet that determination requires some idea of how things work and what works and doesn’t work or it is meaningless guessing. Too often lately the news has come out with statements on an event that later prove false because they didn’t have all the facts. They ran with the story because it fit their agenda. The abortion issue is a perfect example. Before Roe vs Wade, the majority of people opposed abortion because most people assumed it  was a baby from conception but the number opposing it has dropped as they are told we don’t know if it is.  Many kids know about sex from sex education classes but do not understand conception and the baby’s development in the womb. Women are led to believe it is not a baby until just before birth. Once a woman sees an ultrasound showing her the baby in her is fully formed, most women reject abortions. In addition, those supporting abortion concentrate on the fact that they want to help a poor girl in distress but few people understand that she is in distress because sex education taught her to have sex but did not tell her about the consequences of it.  It implies that she can have sex without worrying about getting pregnant because contraceptives prevent it and abortion takes care of any accidents. Good girls used to avoid sex outside marriage because of the disgrace of unwanted pregnancy, but after Roe vs Wade, many felt free to engage in it because their sex education classes fail to tell her about the high failure rate of contraceptives and the fact that abortion is not as safe as they are told. An abortion can have serious consequences physically and emotionally. It is the same with many issues today. The schools teach names and dates and  either don’t teach the consequences or twist them to support their agenda so voters cannot make educated decisions about policies they want their representatives to pursue. As a result, voters must educate themselves. In addition, liberal politicians are often not open about the policies they support or proclaim support for policies the people want but then vote the opposite.
