Gen Z is indeed charting a future of mediocrity


Economics Professor Kendrick Morales recently declared that Spelman College fired him because he did not cave to students’ demands for higher grades and easier coursework.

It's not the lazy good for nothing students, it's the entities that encouraged and enabled them. Kids are going, "We don't want to do anything. We want to lay around on our asses and have fun," (as kids have done since kids were invented) and society says, "You're right - go have fun." They've been told that their entire lives.

This doesn't bode well for the future of this country because while there are plenty of enterprising young 20-somethings who want to work and achieve, society will not reward them for that. It will be interesting to see the children of Gen Z.

My dad started at the Weather Bureau when he was 15. Never finished HS, got drafted into the Army at the end of WWII, and retired comfortably at 45.
