It was that way in the 1970s too...
Fortunately most mature..even some hard core liberals
With media losing control of the narrative good things are happening
It is a fact that public education made a major swing at some point during that time. What had been taught when in school, first grade to graduating senior was far more appropriate than what was taught 5-9 years later. We had prayer, civics and American History in each grade level during the earlier years. After which these mandatory classes were passed over for others not near as important but still mandatory. The difference is seen from the first sibling down to the fourth. The youngest claims to be a conservative yet still relies on government goodies, others for cash and food. All these years of listening and claiming to like Rush has failed to teach anything which would be considered as life changing. After the second born was educated in Public school system, what had been standard practice was tweaked to become nothing more than a day care and re-education. Do believe the cause of that was due in part to busing.
Nieces and nephews, much younger are 180 degrees compared to their parents. They no longer pretend to care about learning how this country came to be nor the importance of holding onto that which made US possible. Nor do many know the value of practical responsibility. Money management, time management, even the ability to read and working simple math problems.
Have a problem with this. Or perhaps it happens when an individual reaches a ‘certain age’ and can no longer adapt to the changing times in which we live.
What occurred did so over time. What will occur will do so over time; and time has been severely shortened which makes persons feel they’ll not see anything but a decline of life as they knew it. We waited, but good things didn’t arrive in time for us to witness personally. We must rely on Faith that our children will be the chosen ones to witness the inevitable (whatever that may be).
