When schools stopped disciplining and started babysitting, when kids rarely have parents still married by the time they enter school (so a lot of single parents or blended families), when schools began to track kids by race and gender and decided that Asian and white boys were too good in math and science so it must be racist (enter fuzzy math 2.0 which dumbs down everyone equally), when our kids have so many electronic gadgets and communicate via game devices instead of having interpersonal relationships, when our cities and culture became too dangerous for kids to roam and explore freely,—-is when we lost our culture and our minds. I think the loss of a nuclear family is the worst.

Then the beginning push post 9/11 of Justice, which Obama turned into SOCIAL JUSTICE and the massive return of the Racism mixed with it....
Obama also reintroduced the Flat Earthers to Society....
It has been a very long slow decline, but it became much faster these last 12 yrs....
