Susan Olasky on The Death of the Grown-Up

I previously commented positively about The Death of the Grown-Up by Diana West, which I have not read. As a balancing remark, I thought I should also mention Susan Olasky’s brief critique. Olasky notes that although West gives a thorough review of cultural decline (rap music, teenage sexual mores, etc.), she falls into the same sort of relativism which she critiques when she opines that religion isn’t necessary for cultural renewal. Sounds like a legitimate concern.
