I'm not familiar with US tabloids, is it common for them to spout weird boomer shit like this? The tabloids in the UK do shit like this but it's sandwiched between thirsting over teenage girls.
I was expecting a shitty article, but they were surprisingly mask-off fascist in this one.
Complete with a quote from an army general lamenting that there aren't enough good americans willing to serve their country, followed immediately by this:
Meanwhile, a recent survey highlighted that while 70 percent of senior citizens could pass a US citizenship test, less than 20 percent of those under 45 could, Adams writes.
“I never hear young people professing love for their country,” Adams writes. “I used to. But not lately. That is when I really think teachers have a front row seat for America’s decline.”
A couple extra quotes:
Religion has been replaced by a mass culture of "banality, conformity, and self-indulgence"
While teachers once helped students become their “best selves” by putting the focus on curriculums, lesson plans and test scores, he writes, that’s given way to trying to “understand” young people through programs emphasizing suicide and depression awareness, human trafficking concerns, or bullying, gangs and shootings.
studies have shown that regular family dinners leads to less youth “smoking, binge drinking, marijuana use, violence, school problems, eating disorders and sexual activity
The neglect of family life is one of the greatest causes of the hollowing out not only of students, but of American life

Yeah these are all very real problems facing young people today and absolutely need to be talked about. Besides that, this shit just reads like old school neoconservatism.
I wonder what causes the destruction of families. Surely it's not forcing every adult member of every household to work multiple jobs and/or suffer long commutes to make ends meet.
Hard to have a family dinner when the only hours everyone is home and awake are 8p-10p.
According to that article it's the "Destruction of the American family" that caused it.
There's a quote in it that blames cannabis use on lack of family dinners.
Surprised they didn't say "Judeo Bolshevism" given that it's the nypost.

Yeah the more reactionary ones like the nypost do. I'm guessing their demographic for readers is like age 65+
