It's Tuesday, September 19, 2023.

I'm Albert Moller, and this is The Briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from

a Christian world view.

There's so many huge issues for us to discuss this week.

It is like we're all of a sudden living at the intersection of so many agencies, but

today I simply have to turn to an argument that made its way into the New York Times because

for us, this is just absolutely crucial.

We need to understand what's going on right now is that even some on the left are beginning

to understand that there is more to the family crisis than they had been admitting.

Now in order for a liberal to bring this up, it has to come up in a different way than

say conservatives might start this discussion about the nature of the family and the importance

of the family.

Very interestingly though, and I think honestly, Nicholas Kristoff, very liberal columnist

for The New York Times, throws the issue into the equation with a PC ran over the weekend

and entitled The One Privilege Liberals Ignore.

So there you have it.

If you want to get the attention of a liberal, use a word like privilege and then tell the

liberals, this is the privilege you are ignoring.

We're going to come back to this at the end because I don't think this is a legitimate

use of the word privilege.

But nonetheless, from the perspective of those who basically look at the family sociologically

and economically, I guess privilege isn't the worst place to start.
