[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 in my presence. 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]
It’s now socially acceptable for boys of any race to use the n word. [/quote]

This is definitely not true.
My kid is a b boy with a lot of black friends and he seems to use the word muthafukka where you might imagine a black kid would use the word nig-a.
I think it's still fighting words.
White kids might use it in the presence of exclusively white kids but but that's always been true.  They won't say it in a group of black kids.[/quote]
