One difference I see is that kids from ‘67, ‘77, and ‘87 were able to run out and play all day without their parents worrying if they would return. Even in the cities.
And the parents of the kids of ‘87 worried about the ‘latch-key’ effect. IE - having young children (kindergarten-elementary school age) go to school in the mornings and come home in the afternoons without any parental supervision.
Something that in today’s world, is now a crime. And the children are nowaday confiscated from their parents ‘for their own good’, of course.
And let’s not forget the drug pushers in the school parking lots. Etc et al.
Though, it’s true that today’s youth do have to deal with a pro-homo, pro-Muslim agenda in the schools today.
