PBA, I concede that the acceptance for certain immoralities among even the higher classes can be directly linked to the search for reason stemming from critical thought and perhaps the self-indulgence that comes along with creativity and expression. I have two responses to that (without taking my actual position that it’s certainly not the government’s business).

1. Just because there is a negative effect in some places doesn’t mean that we should lose all of the positives and subject ourselves to all the consequences of a total failure of education.

2. Instead of being afraid that we will all become kofrim, we should have bitachon that the Torah’s morality is correct and defensible even in light of other educational influences, and we should pursue that education so that we can explain why.
