Boomers are grandparents. You are looking to blame Gen x and millennials.

Haidt turns 60 this year

I’m a Gen X latchkey kid who had to pay my dues and fulfill so many stupid rules because I was being fed a line. I thin it’s awesome that these kids don’t play with fools and advocate for themselves.

Absolutely agree! Native-born older white males are the biggest snowflakes in the US. They completely fall apart when they have to compete for anything just like the rest of us (non older white men). They’re a generation of whiners.

White men--the convenient, lazy stand-in for all that is and ever was evil in the world--are dropping out of the workforce and make up smaller and smaller portions of college student bodies. I'm still trying to decide if this is a brilliant, intentional strategy by the woke elite, or just a comedic final act in the decline of the West.

There are plenty of jobs for the taking. Maybe they are lazy or too picky.

To reiterate-this is some pouty Boomer who prob has useless Millenial kids. Those generations are the whiniest babies around.

Gen X and Gen Z are doing just fine.

I cannot take Haidt seriously since he said that college students are babies because a few college students wanted an absurd level of trigger warnings, but I’d love it if we could somehow stop kids under 16 from having social media. A broken clock is right twice a day.

Politically and socially left kid of a professor and I agree with Haidt.

Cell phones and social media for under 16 will be like cigarettes . And the trigger warnings are out of control. Some are good. But like therapy animals, it’s becoming absurd.

Gen Z had some great ideas then went totally overboard with them.

Yeah the trigger warnings were a younger millennial cause and Haidt went total straw man with it. Yes some kids thought that professors should warn students if a novel deals with moving homes or family conflict, but the vast majority of elder millennials thought that was absurd and had much more reasonable options on trigger warnings. I'm sure your parent has horror stories but for every millennial who thought admin should force professors to put a detailed trigger warning on everything, there were a thousand of us who thought that managing trauma wasn't the job of a professor. I think it's just absurdly insulting and needlessly contentious to call an entire generation coddled. And now he's going after Gen Z?

Haidt is right about a lot of things, but there are plenty of people out there who have better ideas.

They are certainly the loudest.

Right. So he’s not raising Gen Z kids. Gen X and Millennials are.

Let's be real. This guy probably did not raise his own kids.

I am a boomer, and I hate these generational pronouncements. People are different and should not be defined by their ages and stupid generalizations.

Actually he is. I read one of his books and he describes an experience surrounding one of his sons starting preschool in 2009, if I recall correctly.

Boomers are 65+ years old.

Gen Z is in their teens and 20’s.

Do you actually believe boomers birthed Gen Z when they were 50 years old?

Exactly. An au pair or nanny did.
