I altogether hear you, Jacob. I recently had an irate parent chastise me for disciplining some entitled, badly behaved school children: “They’re only eleven years old,” he railed. If he’d been in a frame of mind to listen, I’d have said, “And if they don’t learn accountability now, how do you expect they’ll behave when they’re 20, 30 . . .?
What you describe is the end game of the synthetic, therapeutic, Alice in Wonderland dispensation in which we now have the misfortune to live. The parent I mention, Obama, and far too many are duplicitous and cowardly sell-outs. To know there are some dynamic young people, like you, who are pushing back is heartening. G_dspeed!
