We were posted at the front of a large public high school auditorium in the Land of the Free in 2015. Both of us were responsible for maintaining some semblance of order as 150 to 200 students socialized, did homework, and ate lunch. I can’t tell you what my partner saw, but I saw girls sitting on their boyfriends’ laps. I noticed a student climbing over chairs to get from A to B. Some students were throwing things. We discouraged all this, of course, but the scene reminded me of Wild West cattle drives I’d seen on TV.

Not all of America, just a particular demographic subset.

For individuals old enough to remember the counterculture of the 1960s that was so anti-authoritarian, such behavior is not surprising. That was a time when traditional values were disregarded, including religion; today’s society is reaping what was sown so it is quite likely a vast number of adults and children today have no knowledge of our Lord, or Scripture, or the remarkable men and women of Scripture.
Today’s youngsters seem to be “seeking” pleasures to satisfy “something” elusive within themselves, a restlessness--thus, alcohol, drugs, sex, sexual perversions, live-in relationships rather than lifetime commitments of marriage, disregard for human life from cradle to grave as examples of seeking but not finding that “missing” something in their lives. Add to that leftist ideology (devoid of religious values) indoctrination through the education system at all levels provides another layer of emptiness, restlessness, compassionlessness. The reality is their “incompleteness” is the lack of God in their lives; the contentment, the inner peace, the anchor of knowing God’s love through the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Aside from the counterculture movement itself, it may be appropriate to consider the irresponsibility of public schools abandoning a dress code that existed until around the 1960s, dress codes that conveyed a subtle “sense of authority” versus the casual attire that made it difficult to distinguish teacher from student, therein no indication of any “sense of authority” on behalf of the teacher that may have resulted in no respect for a teacher or a teacher’s authority. Until the 1960s, men wore suits, shirts, neckties or sports jackets, shirts, neckties and normal shoes (no sports shoes). Women wore business suits, dresses, or skirts and blouses/sweaters and normal shoes; no slacks, pants suits or sports shoes.
Unfortunately, the children of the counterculture movement quite likely were not raised with any mainline religious instruction, or their children’s children, and the result is what is being seen today. It seems the “rule of law” that was rejected by the 1960s counterculture “flower children” exists today. Permissiveness run amok. Apostasy.
Fortunately, not all of those who grew up during the counterculture movement abandoned traditional values.
The wisdom of Scripture: “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6)

Feral children are the product of lazy, unqualified parents. Unfortunately, there is no test before conception.

The article is short on specifics but what he does cite we were doing in the early 70's. I had girls on my lap (once or twice). I climbed over everything because it was so easy. I often threw (harmless) things to devil my friends. My behavior toward adults was always respectful or at least civil. He's just describing kids being kids with their endless energy and brand new hormones. We have bigger things to worry about.

A certain subset of the country has allowed their culture to be hijacked by the lust of the flesh. Unfortunately, many other people are affected by this toxic brew that has permeated throughout the country. The Bible warns us of the lust of the flesh and the pride of life because it will destroy all that is good in people. We are seeing the fruits of this today and frankly, it is frightening to see the complete lack of decency that is on display. Until people are willing to confront this complete lack of moral responsibility, it will continue at a breakneck pace. These acts of depravity we are witnessing today must be widely condemned. We must stop making excuses for what is nothing more than a total breakdown of morality. Parents, the biggest gift you can give your children is to teach them to love and respect God, our ultimate moral authority.

Caning at the right age cures a lot of ills down stream. My age will show if I tell you I went through it as a school boy.

Successful parenting requires effort, consistency, and wisdom from The Lord. These are in short supply in today's culture.

The behavior of that certian demographic subset is why 10% of teachers quit after the first year, and 40% quit by 5 years of teaching.

That’s a great rundown, #3. But one of the main reasons is single mother homes and absent fathers. Some of these kids have no idea who their fathers even are.

Thank you, goobermint schools. Thank you, goobermint indoctrination centers. Also in the mix are the entertainment industry, network television and permissive parents.
