It is highly disturbing that the moral erosion of the sexual revolution has fully impacted middle-schoolers, as was aptly pointed out in USA TODAY's March 15-17 Cover Story, "The sexual revolution hits junior high."

However, parenting author Margaret Sagarese put it mildly when she said that baby-boomer parents who thought that nothing would ever shock them are shocked by the way their young teens talk, dress and perhaps even behave. More accurately, the author and many boomers are in denial.

Indeed, "The world is 'rougher, it is sexier' and it's harder for teens to avoid it," simply because too many boomers either don't know what they wrought upon society, or they simply refuse to accept responsibility for it -- not to mention launching the drug culture in America.

Alas, the sexual revolution and the drug culture have gone down even further than that. Into the elementary schools. And society will be answering to those children, painfully, failed by previous generations.
