The point is not that kids going into public schools are weird. It is that the kids coming out of public schools after 12 years of educational malpractice will be seen as weird…because they commonly already are. Witness the insanity that GenZ people display regarding sexual identity, “climate anxiety,” economic and historical illiteracy, totalitarian political extremism— and with no awareness at all how these beliefs, inculcated in schools, will doom them to serfdom in this generation.
Compared to past generations, they most certainly they are. We've been exposed to this for so long that for us, it's *normal* but in light of history, kids today are NOT normal.
