Messaging from schools, feministas, government, MSM, social media, their single parent, GLBTQ activists, all combined, have created really messed up youths.

They’ve no idea what is true and real, who and what to believe, what they are, what they should be. They likely suffer cognitive dissonance frequently.

American progressives are a spreading cancer here, and our young girls are infected.

I noticed when I was volunteering at Cub Scout camp last week that kids aged 6 to 10 have almost zero ability to understand speech. They just stare at you blankly while you say, for example, “Drop those arrows to the ground!” over and over.

I was surprised at how bad it was, even compared to two years ago...

Interesting.

How much of our learning is facilitated by subtle visual clues from adults? A correct answer likely elicits a smile from an adult which provides positive feedback to the child.

Now imagine children in this environment of the past 18 months where outside of home, everyone around them is literally a blank face. This has to have caused deleterious effects in learning and socializing.

Well, they’re noisy and messy and disobedient and break things and eat a lot ...

I think it’s also related to the emphasis on pictures, video, and other screen content in schools. Listening to and comprehending a person speaking to you isn’t emphasized.

I don’t think that we will ever know the totality of the huge emotional impact on children and teenagers of the lockdown.

Yes, the adults who lost jobs, businesses and relationships suffered. The
World has been destroyed to some extent.

But adults have more resources and wisdom (hopefully) to come back from this.

Without their friends and boyfriends or girlfriends, teens lose themselves and texting or facetime doesn’t cut it.

And babies learn what it means when people make different faces (smiling, laughing, angry, etc.). Toddlers and young children lose out as well. Toddlers need to learn how to play with others; young children as well, plus they lost a year of school.

The world will probably be a very different place in 20 years.

It’s really tragic.

If I lived in one of those isolated places, I sure wouldn’t wear a mask.

The stupid is everywhere. Here in NM, the lockdown on Harding County was the same as Albuquerque. Harding has 600 residents in 2200 square miles.

At least FR has intelligent people posting.

I once went to Twitter and spent an hour defending President Trump. The posts people made were incredibly ignorant.

"I noticed when I was volunteering at Cub Scout camp last week that kids aged 6 to 10 have almost zero ability to understand speech. They just stare at you blankly while you say, for example, “Drop those arrows to the ground!” over and over. I was surprised at how bad it was, even compared to two years ago, when, “Point your toes toward the post in front of you,” resulted in actions making it seem they had no idea what “toes” or “post” or “toward” meant. I have to walk up the firing line, standing by each one in the correct stance, and say, “Make your feet like mine!”"

That you can even hold their attention that long seems amazing to me.

Yeah, that pretty much completes it. A trifecta.

“Us older folks must remember the hopeful innocence of youth.”

That’s such a terrible thing to have been smashed and lost.

Hope in a good future, good job, good life.

Innocence from fornication, meanness, perversity.

So very saddening.
