Campus protests and May graduations have highlighted concerns over public school curricula at Parents' Rights In Education. The scrutiny includes perceptions of male/female roles and the overselling of women being able to do everything, while boys can be girls.

Two articles inspired this commentary. The first is a commencement address by Harrison Butker at Benedictine College, which emphasized traditional roles for women and the importance of motherhood over career ambitions. Butker's speech suggested that women have been misled about their roles, with his wife, Isabelle, exemplifying fulfillment in her vocation as a homemaker and primary educator of their children. However, he overlooked key realities such as infertility, the importance of a "Plan B," and the possibility of balancing careers and family.

The 1970s feminist movement aimed to pass the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) for women's equal protection under the law. Though it passed the House and Senate, it failed to gain enough state ratifications due to fears of unintended consequences. Today, individual states have adopted similar policies, leading to ongoing debates about gender roles and parental rights.

Butker's success and ability to support his family are commendable, but his views miss important points about modern realities. Homemaking is not a formal vocation, careers can wait, and technology offers new income options. The new feminist dynamic has created a Gender Gap, as highlighted by Kay Hymowitz in City Journal. Young women are increasingly left-leaning, creating a significant political divide. Mistrust between young men and women is growing, as seen globally, with high expectations from women not yet met by society.

Dating and marriage norms have shifted, with women often discriminating against men from opposing political parties. This dynamic raises concerns about the future of relationships and the responsibilities of raising children. Government schools must represent community values, promoting the importance of two-parent families for the stability of US culture.

The commentary concludes by questioning what values local schools are teaching and advocating for the representation of traditional family structures to provide security, love, leadership, and guidance for children, roles that the government cannot fulfill.
