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:

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
