How Do I Talk To My Kids About Social Justice

As America becomes a post-truth, post-Christian culture allowing feelings instead of rational judgment to determine “reality,” the author reminds us that chaos results when societies fight over their foundational principles. The culture war impacts every area of life, even our public schools. Kids are caught in a battle to define gender, sexuality, systemic racism, and the right to freedom of speech and have dissenting opinions.  Mr. Mason provides a response that the parent can use to maintain a healthy relationship, reinforcing the traditional American worldview and balanced perspectives by having informed conversations with their children.  The book’s tone is neither vindictive nor angry. The author offers parents a relationship-centered approach using informed conversations with kids that reveal social justice narratives’ intellectual contradictions and failures when applied in society. He presents this in a manner that focuses on the values of love and compassion.  This is a handbook for parents to counter the singular approach to social justice that dominates public school schools, addressing existing cultural problems and the challenges parents face as they relate to their children in a society fighting a complex culture war.
