Randy Hekman on Families & Children

Character is taught by family, not by government

How do we grow people of good character? It is not through government. Character is taught at home in families. And families ideally learn how best to do that through mediating institutions like churches and other non-profit organizations. Regrettably, where parents fail to teach and model good character to their children, government--even schools--cannot typically bring remediation. People, not institutions, impact people. Human growth occurs through life-on-life interaction. Source: Campaign website, www.randyhekman2012.com, "What I Believe" , Jul 17, 2011
