:::::::You say you "''prefer to think of it'' as an... expanded definition"; is this a [[euphamism]] or simply a turn of phrase? If the former, then you agree this is an essay. Essays do not belong alongside normal articles; they belong with the other essays in the "essay" namespace. If the latter, you have not attributed your opinion ("If that makes Conservatives old-fashioned, so much the better"), and you have no citations for any of your claims. ''Encyclopedia'' entries (aimed at homeschoolers or not) must be "true and verifiable", not simply "conservative friendly for the sake of being conservative friendly".

Why not conver a moral message in educational material? At least ours will be positive and healthy, unlike the promotion of perversion and immorality that is barely disguised in the teaching materials of state/public schools. And expanded definition was not a [[euphemism]]; rather, words are much easier to learn and remember if learned in context. Bald definitions are of little use.
