of America"

Dear Editor,
Re: "An American View"--by Fred Bruning--Sep/11/95--Maclean's Magazine
If Fred Bruning seeks the cause of the rise in violence and public apathy towards
the victims in America, which he appropriately ascribes to "The Moral Bankruptcy
of America in the '90s," he should consider the major intellectual and social
changes that have taken place over the past several decades.
With Progressive Education stunting young minds -- counterculture professors preaching
subjectivism, moral relativism and tribalism -- rising statism and its corollary:
pressure-group warfare and economic decay -- a perversion of justice that treats
criminals like victims and victims like criminals -- rising egalitarianism where
achievement is sacrificed to envy; and finally, with the American founding principles
of individualism virtually being destroyed by collectivism, one has a perfect recipe
for moral bankruptcy and social suicide.
Sincerely,
Glenn Woiceshyn
