`Self-esteem' [has been] promoted over and over again as the new panacea,
along with teaching `responsibility.' However, parents must remember that
`self-esteem' is a double-edged sword. While it may be true that a child
needs a great deal of self-confidence to reject undesirable peer influence,
it will, at the same time, require a defiantly self-confident child to have
the courage to violate his or her family values and/or Judeo-Christian
heritage, and engage in the `responsible' promiscuity being promoted by
the liberal sex educators.
