Star Parker: The answer to AIDS is values

Star Parker, of the Coalition on Urban Renewal and Education, has this column in WorldNetDaily this week. She has some truly sobering statistics--and some well-placed criticism of Newsweek magazine for, again, getting it wrong on the role of traditional values. She also covers many subjects that Newsweek, in its recent cover story, won't cover--such as the role of prisons in the incubation of AIDS.

To sum up Star Parker's point: Men are not the helpless, hard-wired animals that the liberal media always want to assume. The solution to AIDS--and all other sexually transmitted disease--is to get men to value honor and integrity and, yes, chastity, both in themselves and in the women in their lives. But don't expect the mainstream media to recognize that--not when so many of its reporters and editors play the Sex and the City game themselves.
