As a Christian, I do not want a theocracy here in our country. However, I would like to see an increase in morality, and honesty, which are going downhill fast. Less focus on superficiality (see reality TV etc.) and materialism. More educational focus on challenging subjects and less on ‘self-esteem’. More (some?) statesmanship in government; less corruption. More focus on true truth; less on ‘image is everything’. The lack of seriousness and honorable behavior is the reason I see America in great peril.

I would also like to see an increase in morality, honesty, ethical and honorable behavior.

Comes down to parents, I believe. Also, and this isn’t going to be a popular notion - a kid’s “job” is to go to school, behave, take the coursework seriously, and they would seriously be helped in this if schools could master the art of imposing discipline, without having parents raise a ruckus and sue.
