LifeSiteNews - During her daily live show yesterday, Mother Miriam challenged parents to uphold their duty as primary educators of their children. She alerted parents to the fact that today’s schools are filled with evil and that it is the first and foremost duty of parents to protect their kids… “It has to do with you being a proper mom and dad to your children...You, no matter what the situation is, are responsible for the growth of your children in faith,” she said.

Ouch.
