I really suspect that these young people are either brainwashed or poorly educated. In my youth I think everyone just understood that you don’t resist a law enforcement officer in discharge of their duties.

My final year of teaching was 2019-2020. During those last 15 years of my career, I can vouch that the social studies teachers at those two schools actually taught Civics and American History. One Soc.St. assignment in particular that I recall was students were required to memorize, recite, and write The Preamble to the Constitution.
Heck, I even incorporated some of their material into my lessons - that’s why the students would say, “but you’re supposed to be teaching math; why do you tell us stuff about English, Social Studies, Science, etc. (I even made a powerpoint about why we recite The Pledge of Allegiance and the meaning behind each part. I shared that presentation with all the teachers at our school and presented it to my homeroom students at the beginning of each year.)
In my childhood school system, the last attempt to teach non-PC American history and/or civics was when the last Korean War veteran who taught any of the sections retired. This would have made it in 1993 or 1994.
Had that class in mid-70’s high school but this was in Texas.
Good question.
But it’s not just the schools. Parents have not done a good job in many cases.
That education official in Minnesota this week said they emphasize 'social justice' in their education. Good grief! Minnesota children may never be exposed to American history or the Constitution. Yikes❗ They are raised to believe the country they were born in is totally flawed.
And everyone on this thread knows: we have allowed this to happen... 🤷 for whatever reason.
