I have an in-law that’s a teacher, and she says it’s fucking crazy how radicalized some kids are. Her coworkers have dealt with 11 year old boys straight up telling female teachers they don’t have to listen to them because they’re women.

They’re apparently always talking about shithead influencers like Andrew Tate too, and the ones that aren’t down the pipeline are definitely still heavily exposed to the ideas. Real disturbing shit.

Hoo boy there’s a little tidbit I’d rather not know

I’m hoping that it’s just the gen z/alpha version of an edgy atheist phase that they outgrow. For what worth she also says a lot of kids are way more chill about LGBT students, including being respectful of pronouns.

My experience with teenage atheists is that they usually remain atheists into adulthood.

They (hopefully) outgrow the edgy part, though, was my point.
