[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the current crop of young people are going to be more conservative than a lot of people predicted. For a while it seemed like Gen Z was going to be very social justice oriented and progressive. And I do think there’s a little microgeneration of of that. But I think the youngest Gen Z’ers will be more to the right due to certain online messaging being targeted at them and just generally wanting the perceived stability that comes with a more so-called traditional lifestyle. It will be more pronounced among young men, but I think we will see it in women too.[/quote]

my 13 yo told me last year ago that "pronouns are gone" and that kids are not woke. they use racial stereotypes freely. boys in particular, but also some girls. [/quote]

I don’t hear much about the racial stereotypes, but I live in a very diverse area so it would probably be less common. Agreed that pronouns are not popular with this age any more. [/quote]

PP here - we are at a very diverse school. boys are extremely straightforward with all sorts of stereotypes (racial, ethnic, gender). wokeness is associated with schoolmarms, teachers and other lame adults. not cool.[/quote]

I have a hard time believing the stereotyping part  is true. Do you hear the boys saying this? I don’t think my 12 year old would dare to [b]in my presence.[/b] That seems different to me from being fed up with DEI/SEL/woke-speak.

That said I do hope we’re past the brutal cancellations that happened in 2020. Like the Walls kids who got in trouble for playing Cotton Eyed Joe or the teacher with the cotton ball game. [/quote]

I don't think they are using it in front of their parents. This is what my kid is reporting to me re: how kids talk among themselves. I would assume most parents are not aware of this. We live in a very liberal, diverse area. There is a fair number of international students. My guess is that these kids will grow to be more "conservative" than their parents on many issues.[/quote]

Curious what you mean by liberal and diverse. at my kid’s T1 MS he’d get his butt kicked if he used the n word. [/quote]

I wrote above that n word is off limits. Liberal and diverse as in WJ cluster.[/quote]
