The bottom line is people raised in the "politically correct" late 60's and 70's were never disciplined as children. Now that they have children, they don't know how to parent.
Sorry, but your dateline is vastly inaccurate. As a product of the 60s-70s, I can tell you first hand that boundaries and spankings were still very much alive. Even the school systems were allowed to spank students (I wish they would start again too). Political Correctness, as a term and in practice, didn't become mainstream until the 90s.
But that's the legacy of the "don't spank them" and "can't hurt their self-esteem" school of child rearing.
You can thank the Liberals and tree huggers for that. The "self entitlement" generation of 90s is the cause of the current issue. You are right kids (and adults) need boundaries. Unfortunately, the pacifists have made it a
right to misbehave and are afraid to "limit" their children.
Need any evidence:
How has school violence changed since spankings were removed from schools (and homes)?
How has behavior improved since the prayer was outlawed in schools?
Have children broadened their minds with their newfound "rights?"
We never had school violence beyond fist fights and never had gangs in schools.
Removing the Pledge of Allegiance from schools was another disgrace.
PS....Airlining to work a few weeks ago, a lady had her "lap child"
standing in her lap (bouncing) while the kid had is hands on the headrest in front of him. Problem? WE WERE INSIDE THE FAF with the gear down. You should have seen her face when I yelled at her to "sit that kid down, NOW!" But she did it.
Like the man says....You can't fix STUPID.
