One logical result of liberal inculcation

Psycho-emotional infantalism seen as a good thing.

Kyle Smith of the NY Compost is nothing but another right-wing idiot posing as a journalist and setting up a lot of right-wing straw men in order to try to make liberals and liberalism look bad .
The NY Post is good for laughs, but no more . How could anyone take this ridiculous rag seriously ? It's the tabloid equivalent of Fox (Faux) News .

These two trends aren’t coincidental: Millennials, and the generation following them, are reforming the country. What they’re creating amounts to the Childish States of America. If our national symbols were to be revised accordingly, the bald eagle would have to be replaced with a Teletubby.

Teletubbies aside, I believe he is making a gross over generalization base on cherry picked events to support himself. Instead, he needs to take broader strokes when discussing an entire generation of people.

Because small children can’t write, college students are starting to demand the option to simply chat about their ideas instead of submitting term papers. Composition scholar Peter Elbow told an Atlanta conference of college writing teachers in 2011 that the grammar we learn by age 4 is “good enough,” and disbelieving attendee Mary Grabar added that colleges are “not really interested in teaching students to write and communicate clearly,” so communication is now “redefined as ‘performance’ involving the body, images, song, hip-hop, visual rhetorics, clothes, ‘everything but the written word as traditionally understood.’ ”

Case in point, I work in higher education. My colleagues (both internal and external across the country) would never subscribe to this.

ObamaCare ruled that insurers must allow parents to carry their children as dependents until age 26 — an age when previous generations of Americans expected to be well into their adult lives, typically becoming parents themselves by then.

Partially due to the crippling debt brought on by a reformed education system spearheaded by, you guessed it, baby boomers! (Thanks for that, by the way!) Tuition rates have sky rocketed due to legislation, greed, and voting habits of the same generation that is currently condemning the millennials for struggling with the environment they have created for them.

The Obamanoids turned into Sandersistas, whose playtime fantasy is to have everything they want paid for by others — grownups — whom they wish to shake down for lollipops, universal health care and free college tuition.

Again, which wouldn't be necessary if the previous generation didn't break the educational model that millennials are now forced to deal with.
