Liars, Cheaters, and Thieves . . . Oh My!
“I’m dishonest and proud of it.” Believe it or not, that’s what a lot of our kids think. But can this national character collapse be solved? Our public schools, with their “character counts” curriculums, seem to think so, although my guest today is skeptical. Mona Charen — a nationally syndicated columnist, bestselling author, and good friend — tells Lynne and I that this feel-goodism won’t get us very far.

Mona has some great answers and you’ll want to tune in.
