Yeah, I guess you could arguably say that he's a hypocrite. That said, maybe somebody should do something with Hollywood to change the industry's image. Hollywood is known for so much wack, that in recent decades it has developed a nickname: Holly WEIRD!!! Even people work in Hollywood call it Hollyweird.

Hollywood is known for so much wack, that in recent decades it has developed a nickname: Holly WEIRD!!! Even people work in Hollywood call it Hollyweird. There are issues in the entertainment industry & scandals to go along with it. The cutthroat competition and obsessiveness with one's image don't help. Apparently, Schroeder feels the best way to cure all of this is to: In a social climate where Hollywood controls what media we see, the Reel American Heroes Foundation (RAHF), founded by Golden Globe® Award Winner Ricky Schroder, is committed to counteracting mainstream messaging by becoming a platform that celebrates our country’s true values. The foundation is devoted to honoring our nation by producing content about our veterans and active soldiers, their families, and first responders that inspire, raise awareness, entertain, and educate.I suppose this makes sense to some, but to many it's just mental constipation and verbal diarrhea.

I think they should just steer into the skid and let it fall into the ocean.

This is way too funny. Rick Schroeder, the former child actor from Silver Spoons, is on a mission to save Hollywood. The man is on an anti-porn crusade to save us all and clean up Hollywood. What a joke!! Firstly, what exactly is meant by family values - it means different thins to different people. It's a phrase used by politicians to get votes. Family values is code for “conservative values” or “Christian values”, because right-wing, fundamentalist evangelicals think that they have a monopoly on families, and that only their values should be represented in America. From the article: Schroder grew up in the spotlight of Hollywood, experiencing the negative effects of the lack of conservative values in the content we consume.Whenever someone starts talking about going back to the way things used to be, or romanticizing mainstream American values of the past, they’re essentially talking about being more racist, misogynistic, homophobic, and xenophobic- because those are all conservative, Christian values. “Family values” largely means white, middle class, heteronormative, Christian values. Anyone who denies that is just straight up lying to your face or otherwise lying to themselves.

Ever notice conservative figures: a) glorify the military b) stifle other options to the military by arguing against living wages and free education c) often have financial interests in military activity

Like Madam C.J. Walker knew her place becoming the first black woman millionaire years before women could even vote? Or Henry Delany knew his place, born a slave, freed at 8, graduated St. Augustine's college, married, became the first black Episcopalian bishop, had 10 kids, all of whom also graduated college and went onto successful careers like 2nd black woman dentist in New York and first black teacher at an all-white school? Like Bessie Coleman knew her place getting the hell out of Chicago and going to France to become the first black woman with an international pilot's license? Like Mae West knew her place, buying the building she lived in so her black lover could come see her without being denied entry? And she knew her place saying gay men were women born in men's bodies, and to beat up gay men was to hit a woman?
People who are determined to do something with their lives and make something of themselves, do it whether they're 'allowed' to or not. The difference is they were willing to put in the work, because they were raised by families who taught them how to work, and the importance of work, the importance of bettering themselves, those stupid 'family values'. Most people aren't willing to put in the work, and the incentive for it has decreased vastly ever since. Maybe most people 'didn't make anything of themselves' 100 years ago and it was credited to they HAD to raise families, they HAD to do this, they COULDN'T do that, today people have every single opportunity to make something of themselves, and the vast majority are STILL never going to amount to anything. Even though they can vote, and they 'have rights', and access to everything to make their lives simpler than ever before, most are still not motivated to use all that freedom to better themselves, their families, their situation whatsoever, if anything they're only motivated to go backwards.
When people were fighting for their 'rights', they were to vote, to get married, to go to school, to receive equal pay for doing the same job, etc, all to better their lives. They have all of that now, but in the quest for everyone's lives to become better, has that in fact happened? Are people happier now than 50, 100 years ago? Are they healthier than 50, 100 years ago? Are they mentally healthier than 50, 100 years ago?
Let's do a little compare/contrast...school children in the 1960s, when most people were still so 'oppressed'.
And even back then, bullying in schools was a problem. Kids shooting 20 teachers and classmates, or killing themselves in droves, was not.
School kids today when their parents, whatever sex, color, etc., have all the 'rights' in the world so must be very happy and living very fulfilling lives that surely extend to their families they chose to have.
Well obviously kids getting real meals cooked at home is sexist and oppressive, this is progressive and a symbol of women's freedom from actually raising the kids they chose to have while prioritizing their career/man/self instead.
Now let's get a look at some of those women of the 20s-50s who were such slaves with no rights, and how oppressive their lives were just cooking and cleaning and waiting on men hand and foot.
Now let's take a look at the oh so much happier and freer women today who don't need no man, they don't need no kids, they don't need no values, they can do everything themselves because they got all the rights in the world.
This is healthier and happier than women were 50, 60, 70 years ago? This is mentally a better place than women were in 50 years ago? Because they have so many rights and they're so free so of course their lives are SO much better than any generation before them?
And just for another little contrast, kids today when parents are too 'smart' to concern themselves with stupid concepts like 'family values'.
And now, the requirement for 8th graders to graduate school over 100 years ago. (And for anybody who's actually read it, let's keep in mind that today, the book Heidi is considered 8th grade reading level, let's see how it compares to the material 8th graders learned at the turn of the century)
And back then most parents themselves did not go to school, didn't graduate, many couldn't read, poor families who had to work to live, the parents and kids all worked, would pick one child to go to school to learn to read and write, to come home and teach the rest of the family how to do it. Those pesky family values again. Now today teachers are quitting in droves because the children are out of control demons who can't read, can barely talk and terrorize the entire classroom...and why don't the teachers make them mind? They say they CAN'T, the teachers say they can't do THEIR jobs, because the parents aren't doing theirs. Obviously these teachers want women to be oppressed slaves, raise your kids? Spend time with them? Work with them? What do the teachers think this is, the prairie days? Women are too busy being free and having rights, so somebody else can raise their kids for them, it's much better on society than expecting parents to instill values in their own kids, that kind of thinking went out with home economics classes.

Schroeder is only taking a page from the Kirk Cameron Playbook: Has-been, no longer young, no longer marketable child star reinvents his no longer extant 'career' by becoming a cheerleader for the renascent Moral Majority. Oh, well...I suppose it beats ending one's days addicted to horse tranquilizers while living in an underbelly Arizona trailer park.

Perhaps that alone made the movie at least moderately enjoyable.
