When your kids are raised in rat controlled schools and by parents too busy with their phones than their children and when God is ripped away from the family unit, you end up with ill mannered, lazy, imbeciles too stupid to think independently.

This is a very broad brush you are using to paint everyone.

Is it your point that all of this just sort of began in past 20 years (since cell phones became popular)?

“Hazing” has been part of almost all organizations since, well since organizations have been formed. It is an initiation process into the BROTHERHOOD or SISTERHOOD on the group.

The “newbie” in any group is “tested” or hazed. One reason for this is that it is a quick test on the character of an individual. How an individual reacts can tell you a lot about their character. A second reason is it is a way to separate the members of the group from everyone else.

Policeman, fireman, construction workers, Boy Scouts, office workers, fraternal organizations, the military (you don’t want to know what a “cherry” paratrooper deals with on their first assignment) all have their own form of initiation (hazing).

It is something that bonds an individual to the group. All members of the group had to pass the same initiation process.

Usually the initiation is harmless fun but there is always the potential for things to get out of hand.

The solution is having strong and effective leadership with guidelines (either formal or informal and most are informal) on what is and what is not permissible and suitable punishment if exceeded.

I would submit “hazing” is part of our group mentality and you will not get rid of it by eliminating all groups.

The university overreacted but no one ever claimed university administrators had any common sense.

Hate to let you know this isn’t about public schools. The Greeks....particularly the frats.... have had this reputation for over a hundred years
