%%FNAME%% or Fellow Concerned American: I recently watched the Grammy’s, and it quickly became clear why America’s children are now immune to the concept of morals. We can’t just blame TikTok. How do I know? That evening, I witnessed a striking performance of Doechii performing her song "Catfish" and I honestly didn't understand the lyrics, so I reviewed them online. The song uses the words:
At one point, the dancers stripped the entertainer down to her underwear as demonstrated by the image above. Rarely do you hear celebrities discussing dignity, integrity and love for your fellow man but I’ve created an organization to counter their influence. Our children need to be reminded that we are commanded to treat our bodies as the sacred vessels they are and to make the words that come out of our mouths holy, but the ones I heard at the Grammy were not holy. That’s why I want to bring a nationwide curriculum to America’s children that will root them in the same foundational texts that our nation’s Founding Fathers relied upon when they established this great nation. The fact that female celebrities are often encouraged to be anything but modest speaks to our society's lack of a sense of dignity--toward ourselves and our bodies. It’s shameful. America’s children can find better ways to be provocative and get attention without violating our Lord’s commandments. We can do better. We must do better. Faithfully yours,
Rabbi David B. Siff, Ph.D.
