Just because someone recognizes that they hold themselves and their children to moral standards does not make them any higher or lower than anyone else. It's not a comparison, it's a choice.
This all boils down to two things:
1) Do you accept that there is a TRUTH, an absolute right and a wrong, a good and bad, that applies to everyone?
2) Do you choose to avoid the wrong in the world, or help your children avoid and discern the wrong in the world?
By the above statement you are inferring that your "morals" are the right ones and others who may adhere to slightly different morals or ethics are wrong.
1) Yes there is an absolute truth. In the MJ situation we don't know what that truth is now do we? Outside of the law "right" , "wrong", "good" and "bad" can be very relative terms. Especially when dealing with situations like Jackson's.
2) I confront the wrong in the world on a daily basis. A part of that is how I instruct my girls on the evils we face day in and day out. However I also am able to understand that there are some things they are too young to even be exposed to in terms of information and as such can make the better aspects of someone's career available to them without forcing them to confront the negatives. When they are old enough to understand and make their own educated decisions I'll bring the darker side of certain people to light.
