Everything these days is “for the children”, so why shouldn’t adults act like kids?

If I may record a few thoughts here: Ms. West’s “Revolution of being limited” brought with it a certain sense of “freedom” from responsibility.

Moral principles were challenged and found prudish. People sought the “freedom” from being moral.

The plunging dress code was and is a sign of both the above. When I was in school if a girl showed up in jeans, she would have been sent home to change to a skirt and blouse or sweater. If her personal body skin was bare, she would likely have been suspended from school!

Total tolerance is “freedom” from having principles, and leads to disintegration of one’s own identity. This is largely taught in schools at all levels today. Individualism is politically incorrect. Utilizing the political correct is “freedom” from being an individual.

It has been coming on for 50 years. It is high time the pendulum begins it’s journey back!

I will purchase Ms. West’s book.
