 | | I think that what we see clearly, in the situation that is faced by all of you here in Massachusetts, is one of the clearest and most real challenges possible to the love that ought to motivate the hearts of parents for their children, of citizens for their society and for one another. |
 | | We are directly faced with the consequence of state sponsorship and government action that uses our own resources and those institutions supposed to represent our interests, to trample on our rights and destroy our most loving interest of all: the interest we have in the right moral education of our young. |
 | | For in order to promote the effort by one group to destroy the religious freedom of every other group, the state is sanctioning an approach to education that not only undermines sexual responsibility, it undermines that assumption of human moral capacity that is necessary for any moral education at all. |
