Op-Ed: Gen Xer Reflecting on Childhood Norms. Were They Normal?

Many 90’s kids grew up as latchkey kids, often both parents were working. The kids that were not involved in extracurricular activities went home after school and were essentially raised by the television. It’s never too late to realize things may not be what they once seemed? Recently, there was a Coeur d’Alene, ID Lake Middle School whistleblower talking about the school affirming her daughter’s sudden onset of gender dysphoria. The age of her daughter just so happened to be twelve at the time. This “Secret Education of American Children” is happening in front of our faces. I’m seeing a pattern here and it never appears to be in the best interest of the family or child. If you didn’t know you had a choice, you do now. There are good people that really want you and your child to be healthy and happy. They may be a bit more work to find, but they are out there. Amplify the good in your household, I greatly thank the Seattle Parents and Shelia Bucher for sticking up for their children when no one else would, even those who we were taught to trust without question didn’t support the parents. Choose the healthy, the good and the beautiful. Define it for your children so they cannot be lead astray. It is not too late to steer the ship right.
