Whine, whine and more whine. Wit as me. Typical white men when it’s not all about them. All the books I was forced to read from K to freshmen year college were written by white men. From Dr Seuss to Shakespeare, Faulkner, Hemingway, Doestevsky, Steinbeck, Salinger, and more. Heck, even Harper Lee did not use her first name, Nell, when she first published “To Kill a Mockingbird”. One can only wonder why, since only white men were considered literary works for reading at the time.

You really don’t. You see what they want you to see. The parties, the drunken sex, speeding in a car full of kids, they’re doing things you wouldn’t approve of. The easiest deception is saying they voted for Kamala.

I know everything my children do, they are adults and they are allowed to their own mistakes. We talk - the parties, the fights, sex, drugs, political opinios, speeding etc... you do not get to say how my family communicates - you may only speak about your family and kids.

Gen Z voted against closed schools and masks and disrupted lives. And they have a legitimate gripe. But, they didn’t vote for this. Just ask them.

I was coming here to post this, thanks!

Younger people are, on the whole, stupid and inexperienced in life.

I use myself as an example - I considered myself "pro-life" in my late teens and early 20s. Then I grew up.

NP. You were a bad parent PP. How sad for you, that you have such dishonest children. Most parents know the core of their children, even if they are not always in agreeance. My DC did the unforgivable in my eyes when it comes to voting, by not voting. However, DC did not feel
chilled to believe he had to lie and say he did. It’s too bad your DC feel they need to lie to you for acceptance.

Funny. Minorities have been forced to read about white folks thoughts, values, and ideas of supremacy for how long? What books are typically describes as the Classics?

I'm all for reading books written by authors and about people across the globe. Human themes shine through in all well-written books. (And I bet those books you read about supreme whites also had plenty of down-and-out oppressed whites.)

That's different than reading books chosen only because they focus on specific minorities overcoming oppression. A lot of learning about humans generally is missed in narrow focus.

DP - but my Gen Z DD who graduated HS post-Covid was not like this at all. Maybe because she was a serious, year-round athlete and student, she never went to HS parties, drank, smoke or did drugs and didn’t hang around people who did. She has always been very vocal about what she likes and wants. She’s still in college and still doesn’t do these things. She 100% voted for Kamala as did her friends, both female and male, who act and talk just like her. She did more research on candidates in local elections than I did!

True, but it’s important. They view Donnie & co as counter culture, at least the younger gen Z. The Democrats need were doing fine with messaging until the consultants got involved and then Harris and Walz started sounding like some weak, moderate, alt republicans, and I am sure that to young people it was a total cringe fest. Luckily, that’s just messaging and that can be fixed if we stop trying to play it safe.

There's a thing called polling.

Polling a couple thousand people doesn’t mean this mom’s kid isn’t keeping things from her.

How can you be so sure? Were you in the voting booth with them? Remember that popular tv ad where the wives of Republicans went into the booth and voted Democrat and then gave each other nods of approval? Many times kids tell their parents what they want to hear. Trump supporting teens have been to your house.
