Rescuing Our Children

On May 12, 1979, Michael Palin hosted Saturday Night Live. This clip is a spoof of Charles Dickens called "The Adventures of Miles Cowperthwaite" which was a recurring sketch, though there were only two episodes. In Part 2, Miles goes off to sea on the pirate ship The Raging Queen where the crew was full of "manly men" who did "manly things" together, and where, at night, the pirate captain (Belushi) would come to young Miles's bed to "comfort him". The curious can look up "SNL Michael Palin 1-27-1979" and you can find the transcript, but this scene seems to be missing from the internet, other than at the internet archives where the entire episode can be viewed here: https://archive.org/details/saturday-night-live-s-04-e-18-michael-palin-james-taylor-05-12-1979

“There is a silent struggle raging right now upon which the future of America and her liberties depends — literally. At its core, the struggle revolves around who will be responsible for children and their upbringing. Ultimately, there are only two options: parents or government. Right now, government appears to be winning. It is gaining ground with each passing generation, and with each passing day, through the public education system. But if luminaries of the Left get their way, this is only the beginning. The end goal goes far beyond education and touches every aspect of life.” Alex Newman, Rescuing Our Children
