Had Enough

And that’s just the way she rolls!! Go Mom! This story I read below made me bust a serious series of 90s dance moves in my den this afternoon. I am so proud of a mom standing up for decency.
Indecency and perversion are everywhere. Our kids see it on SnapChat, Vine, and Instagram. They hear it in the latest songs released, on award shows that now have jumped head-long into the abyss (forget putting a toe over a line) and sitting in the lunch room at school. We are inundated with sexual images, crude language, and a multitude of hostile attacks on our faith. AND our children, most days, watch us walk silently passed images in the mall or the grocery store line that if we happened across those same imagines in the history on our teen boy’s iPad …we would exhibit a full on freak-out complete with our heads spinning and they would be grounded for life!
But this mom, not this day! Click here —> http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/02/19/utah-mother-says-shirts-are-indecent-buys-them-all/
“This is a store that caters to junior high and high school age kids,” said Kallas, mall manager for 40 years. “Some of the poses were provocative and were inappropriate for a store catering to young people.”
You do not have to buy up all the clothes in the store to make a statement, however, I think that was brilliant! But what can we do?
1) Don’t fund it! If this store is targeting junior and high school students, it is profiting from their parents’ dollars. Take a stand and stop buying this filth.
2) Trash it! If your teen does purchase inappropriate items with their own dollars…when it comes through your laundry or ends up on your floor…throw it out with yesterday’s newspaper. If they watch you trash enough of their hard earned dollars, they will purchase more wisely.
3) Hit them where it hurts! Don’t shop in stores with inappropriate products or advertisements. When it starts to affect their bottom line, their moral code may change. Either way, we have not allowed it to sway ours.
4) God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all…no darkness at all. If there is a question of “appropriateness”…it’s not. It’s as simple as that.
Be the change. I applaud this Utah mom! I may have to make a trip to the mall. :)
