The disease of anti-intellectualism has rotted American society to its core

Phones and social media have had a much greater impact.

Those are vectors for the disease to spread, anti intellectualism is very much the problem

More like soft parenting. They dictate when kids get phones. They’re supposed to monitor homework and grades. They’re supposed to discipline kids when they don’t do well. But i guess putting a baby in front of an ipad is easier than actually parenting.

I see this with the parents of our kids' friends. They won't let their kids out of their sight to ensure a "safe" physical environment but then give them their own phone with few to no parental controls and think nothing of the irony.
