Agreed. I like Fred and wish he had at least run a spellcheck on the article. His experiences in Virginia tracked pretty well with mine in north Texas, with the exception of the athletics. It was easy to avoid taking PE classes, and I took full advantage of it, as did others.
Schooling didn’t include economics because it was too ‘depressing.’ Evolution was glossed over, if not ignored completely. Calculus was a college thing.
Being the children of the WWII generation, we thought it only natural to go into the military, and virtually everyone I knew did. Patriotism meant more than waving a flag.
Merle Haggard’s Okie From Muskogee is an accurate portrayal of the time, though Merle now claims the song was a send-up. I think he just wants to please his leftist friends.
The family units dissolved. Fathers disappeared and kids became single mothers while in the 10th grade or even earlier. The schools facilitate that with on campus child care.
Kids learned to exploit their entitlement and learned to use it as a weapon. They did incredibly mean and cruel things to each other then claimed it was a "prank" and they "didn't know what they did was wrong".
Helicopter moms supported their kids in almost all cases against the institution when issues were brought up. There wasn't a future felon that wasn't an angel in their mother's eyes.
Kids learned how to become victims in search of recognition or revenge. They learned they could manipulate the legal system and the media in ruining a career. Teachers became afraid to do routine classroom discipline for fear of revenge slander that media readily picked up but rarely retracted if proven false.
Entertainment music and TV has become progressively more ethnic and violent and it presented adults and authority figures as non-functional idiots while kids were always the smartest people in the room. There isn't a school function that isn't full of ghetto talk and attitudes. That includes football half time shows and school plays.
And, the drugs...rampant and covering the spectrum both legal and illegal. The dealers are worshipped by the kids as "cool".
I grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles and never encountered marijuana until I entered college in 1969. To this day, I have never used it, even though my college was Barack Obama's alma mater.
Violent video games, electronic technology, no (any season) outdoor activities, food additives/junk food, rap music/thug culture.
Oh, yeah—if only we could go back to segregated schools.
Are you crazy?
Ping. Interesting.
The bane of our society.
I saw this happening back in the 80s and told my wife that the NEA and AFT were trying to wrest control of our children from the nuclear family to the Government. I also told her there was going to be a very bad kickback towards them as the entire teaching establishment was corrupt and had a collective IQ of -50. Too many teachers were young, female, and were graduates with "degrees" in Education, which meant they knew nothing.
As school and Government policies started taking away certain controls from the parents (back then the NEA actually announced that teachers were better prepared and educated to be custodians of all children than biological parents) parents started to let the teachers raise their children.
Since the entire teaching establishment was not actually capable of raising even one child, let along the entire Country, children started to misbehave and the kickback against the teachers started. The teachers then started to whine that parents weren't doing their jobs, not noticing the irony that they were the ones who tried to take the parenting jobs away from mom and dad.
We now have the mess we are in today.

As it stands, comparing the youth of our past who protected, defended and made America great, these kidiots will conversely destroy our nation if there is no hard hitting answer to the left.
Psycotropic drug use happened.
