Letter to the editor: The problem with youth? Their parents
· The Washington TimesOPINION:
The educational system has been indoctrinated America’s children since the 1960s. It has leeched the soul from half the population.
It has made them believe they have a principled right to hate and resist President Trump’s efforts to protect our country — even though many of them have very little idea why they are supposed to hate and resist.
But the more serious offense to our nation has been done by the parents, going back to the baby boomers and right up until today’s parents. They stood by as this decadence slowly took hold, doing very little or nothing about it.
After World War II, parents felt they were entitled not to raise their children the way they had been raised, to lower expectations. They longed for greater independence, less parental restraint and more freedom.
Thus, each succeeding generation gravitated more and more away from parental responsibilities, placing their own needs first. This has become so prevalent that parents often appease their children to avoid the burden of maintaining a healthy, disciplined environment.
By abdicating their responsibility, parents have handed the educational system the job of raising America’s children.
