‘It was quasi-religious’: the great self-esteem con
In the 1980s, Californian politician John Vasconcellos set up a task force to promote high self-esteem as the answer to all social ills. But was his science based on a lie?
The notion of God’s unmerited grace is a powerful component of Christian theology. The fact that all are sinners and can be accepted by the sheer grace of God means that being a Christian isn’t about being a ‘good person’. The sinners enter into the kingdom ahead of the morally self-righteous Pharisees.
The self-esteem movement, on the other hand, apes the idea of grace by promoting unconditional love as a pedagogical method. Unlike Christianity, however, it denies that there is even such a thing as sin, let alone original sin. It rejects God’s moral ordering of the world as criteria to determine that there is a good and evil at all.
This movement, which marked the beginning of the politically correct revolt against the differentiation of personal pronouns by biological sex, has marked public education for decades. It is rampant in churches as well.
Its moral unravelling of society has decimated both educational standards and the moral instruction of the young.
And of course it is all a pious fraud.
