Being a millenial, I grew up with overbearing parents. I distinctly remember in 90s and 00s of pearl clutching moral outrage on video games and cartoons. Fast forward twenty to thirty years later, boomers accuse millenials of snowflakes. Whenever I hear that, I asked them “who raised us?”

To be fair, boomers experienced the media sensation of serial killers and spiked crime rate in the 70s and 80s and are understandably wary of their own kids going out. Going on a tangent here, this is why the nostalgia on the 80s is ridiculous because people back then complain of crime (hello, how many times big cities like Detroit and New York depicted as dystopian in the 80’s???)

Tell that to legislators who read this and say “lol no let’s buy more testing” and district leaders add more time requirements for weekly staff meetings where principals reread a bulletin for two hours straight, rather than let a kid get anything but recycled air in a building
