All of this goes back to what Sen Moynihan predicted decades ago and it’s only being worse.

I’ve forgotten that important observation by the great Sen. Moynihan. Can you quote it?

Daniel Patrick Moynihan and the triumph of deviancy

https://redstate.com/streiff/2015/06/09/daniel-patrick-moynihan-triumph-deviancy-n53054

Former Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, writing in his 1993 article “Defining Deviancy Down” posits “…over the past generation, the amount of deviant behavior in American society has increased beyond the levels the community can ‘afford to recognize’ and that, accordingly, we have been redefining deviancy so as to exempt much conduct previously stigmatized, and also quietly raising the ‘normal’ level in categories where behavior is now abnormal by any earlier standard.”

What was once something that would get you kicked out of a school or disciplined, became tolerated, then accepted. Now this.

Sadly, there isn’t any going back unless a very heavy hand is used. And 10s of millions, including some folks on here, aren’t willing to accept that.

IE....what would think should happen to a kid in high school that gets into a physical altercation with the Deputy Sheriff that is the School Resource Officer? Expelled, Suspended for a lengthy period of time, In-School Suspension, or Nothing? If you picked, In School Suspension, you would be correct as that is exactly what happened. Basically, the kids behavior was excused and no charges were filed for fighting a deputy sheriff.
