Last thing any Christian group wants is a loose and permissive environment that leads to pregnancy or emotional issues as is a common concern for parents as well. Besides, raging hormones attack young people’s willpower and thier pursuit of the Lord so another line of defense is prudent.

I'm surprised that you could not understand her feeling for friends and family who have been hurt by LSM's mandates on the young people.
Yet when Phillip Lee ran the LSM, code named "The Office," this same "loose and permissive environment" went on unhindered and even protected by many of the Blendeds willing to win favor with Phillip's Daddy.
