“Pres. Biden proclaiming Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday was a slap in the face to all Christians,” declares Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, renown author, speaker, academic and founder of The Ruth Institute. “Instead, let’s celebrate Adult Appreciation Week: Facing Reality. Taking Responsibility.”
Here’s the full pronouncement by The Ruth Institute:
We declare April 3-April 9 Adult Appreciation Week
We honor adults who:
- put their own interests aside for the benefit of the common good.
- take responsibility for their mistakes.
- support their families, even by doing unpleasant jobs.
- tell the truth, even when inconvenient.
- are in command of themselves, their impulses, and their egos.
- wouldn’t dream of cheating others out of their justly earned awards.
- do not knowingly mislead children.
- protect the innocence of children.
- present children with models of self-command, truthfulness, and fair play.
- help children aspire to and achieve lives of responsible adulthood.
- face discrimination and ridicule for living up to their adult duties of protecting the weak, vulnerable, and innocent.
- face the loss of their jobs rather than cooperate with evil.
In short, adults who meet their responsibilities in the face of criticism, without complaint, and without needing constant attention or affirmation.
