Rick Weissbourd spoke with Jennifer Graham about the moral education of children:

"What's going on in the big picture here is that schools are spending less time on ethical character, fewer people are involved in religious institutions, and parents are spending less time on ethical character.

You can't wait for other people to do this.” Read more in Deseret News.
