I’ll write what I feel but fully expect to be blown out of the water. That being said, I totally understand why younger people aren’t feeling very civic these days. They have been raised in a school system that has taught them America is bad/evil... all other non white cultures are good. They have been FORCED to accept all others... gays, transys, illegals, etc.. not as equal but “better”. They have been MANDATED to do SSL (in some states. 75 hours of community service in order to graduate.) Many kids perform 300+ in order to look better for college admissions. Forced and mandated “volunteer” hours because THEY will learn it is good to serve the community whether they like it or not.
It all starts young, too. My kids school supplies were taken for the “other” kids that didn’t have them. If a child griped about the confiscation of their sparkly pencils... they were told that this is a contribution to those less fortunate. It’s how it works.. don’t you know.
College admissions? Well, even if you have a high GPA and an outstanding SAT score.. you may not get into that college you want because we have to be diverse. So they get the “you are not accepted” letter while they see a classmate.. a kid who didn’t study hard... get in.
I completely understand why today’s “youth” aren’t as interested in serving America vs youth of yesterday. Perhaps this is differently felt in the flyover states.. but IMHO it is common on the East and West coasts.
We here a Government that wants to give citizenship to millions who steals across the border and wonders why citizenship is not valued as it used to be.
The Government started paying America’s youth to volunteer and is amazed that people don’t volunteer for free as much as they used to.
We have a media that has been caught out and out lying to the public and a president who continuously lies and comparing his views to mythical opposing views; then are dumbfounded when people quit reading the news.
Liberals never study the consequences of their actions. They always study the current state and ponder: How could this possibly happen?
