ABSTRACT
A decade ago, I was speaking in Switzerland before a presumed friendly audience of psychologists, teachers, and physicians. My topic was the family as “the natural and fundamental…unit of society,” a phrase found in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which seemed to be safe ground. In this talk, I made a positive reference to family policy involving state support for traditional marriages and children. As the question time started, though, a clearly agitated woman rose and asked me how I could endorse such an approach. “These are Nazi ideas,” she declared.
