Moral issues must always be monitored

Too often, the really big problems in our world become so overwhelming that we overlook the important issues close to us. I was reminded of this after reading The Associated Press’s three-day series on the sexual misconduct of school teachers. This is an age-old problem but one of those that requires constant vigilance. I attended several schools in Missouri, and because I had good experiences in all of them, it wasn’t until I was an adult that I learned of a couple of incidents of sexual misconduct in one of my former schools.
