[This episode originally aired 4.23.2016]\n\nIn the first segment, John\xa0weighs in on the vaccination debate, saying that the controversy that is currently raging in America demonstrates that it is possible to be intelligent and irrational at the same time. He contends that while vaccinations do carry a risk of side-effects,\xa0the benefits far outweigh the risks. No doubt, vaccinations do come with risks, even devastating ones, but parents must approach the decision objectively.\xa0He does not believe that parents should be forced to vaccinate their children, nor should they be jailed for not doing so.\xa0This is a free country, he says, where parents have a choice whether or not to vaccinate their children.\nIn the second segment,\xa0John talks about the departure from parenting using biblical principle that our country has drifted away from since the 1960s.\xa0These are God\u2019s children,\xa0he says, and\xa0we should be following His directions when it comes to the raising of our children.\n\nMore about John Rosemond at www.rosemond.com\xa0and www.parentguru.com.
