This event is\u2064 set to occur annually on August 24, emphasizing American patriotism and religious values. The initiative aims to influence the younger\u2064 generation by directly involving families \u2063in teaching children about what\u2063 organizers consider foundational\u200d values, in response \u2063to a \u2062perceived\u200b shift toward a &#8220;new morality&#8221; that accepts practices traditionally \u200dconsidered\u200d immoral.
