Regarding the June 11 front-page story "4 Pr. George's Teens Held in Fatal Beating":
The killing of a man, allegedly by four teenagers? Prince George's School Superintendent John E. Deasy said the crime "defies logic," but it does not defy logic at all. I agree wholeheartedly with Del. Doyle L. Niemann (D-Prince George's) in his assessment of the situation. Children are increasingly exposed to values that contradict good behavior (such as intense materialism and, yes, glorification of disrespect and violence) and are being given more and more control (for example, through impotent disciplining techniques -- if any at all -- that send the unspoken message that children essentially can "get away with murder"). And, yes, all of this is being supported, directly or indirectly, by us, the "adults."
