I'd post the "I'm Shocked!" Fry meme, but I'm too lazy.
What a fucking surprise that a member of Groomers United is an actual kiddie-fucker.
The ADD boom was related to a different but related issue: the feminization of education.
And I don't mean this in the sense of "education getting soft" I mean it in the sense of "education being oriented to how females learn". You also have the dramatic drop off rate of usage of stimulants in teenagers and adults in the 90s and 00s, which revealed that many people had been self medicating for ADD with caffeine and nicotine.
But basically, through the 90s and 00s you saw the reduction and removal of recess time, a greater focus on rote learning and a reduction in hands on classes like shop. One thing we know about boys compared to girls is that they have more nervous energy and need to be running and doing things to blow that off in order to then be able to focus on learning. Rather than reduce teaching hours and give boys the space and time needed to exercise and blow off that energy, it instead became popular to medicate them to remove that energy and let them better "focus" (even though it just put them into a haze). Thus it became much more popular to diagnose boys with ADD and get them medicated rather than admit that our methods of schooling were disadvantageous to boys (after all, remember the narrative was that it was GIRLS who were left behind by schools and the patriarchy, not boys... yet the achievement gap between boys and girls with girls leading over boys began opening up back in the 90s and has only continued since).
Long story short, our education system is geared for the optimal way in which girls and young women learn, and is actively detrimental to boys and young men, and so the "solution" at the time was to try and drug boys until they behaved more like girls.
Also, other than shoving pills down boys throats to make them "calm down" finally slowly stopping, nothing has really changed in our education system and the education gap between boys and girls gets worse every year.

Agreed. Or at least have male/female only classes.Honestly it might just be best to have boys and girls go to different schools until they reach the high school level. Let them get the foundations of education in a way that works for them and then introduce them back to each other when they’re older and a bit more mature.
This is a key problem: A lot of women teachers, even ones not into the Groomers United kool-aid, are misandrist to some degree or another. Feminism is a key cause of this.We don't need to separate girls and boys in school, we need less misandrist teachers and administrators in the school system, and more one on one individual lesson plans for students.

It was an environment built to encourage learning; whereas schools these days are designed to do the opposite, because a willingness to learn makes a person less controllable, less able to be indoctrinated into the cult.It really depends on the situation. Bear in mind, in the 19th century and through the early 20th century, public education often wasn't just co-ed, it was co-grade. You had boys and girls from the ages of six to sixteen in a one room schoolhouse with one or two teachers and you got generally good education results. Thing was, those teachers also tended to have more frequent recesses, had the older kids help the younger with their lessons (which then reinforces those lessons, ask anyone who's taught and one of the things they will say is they learn a lot by the simple act of TEACHING it), etc., and if there was no lessons for certain children or they weren't involved in the present lesson they were encouraged to read something appropriate. It was a very different environment than the modern schooling system.
Parents ask Supreme Court to hold Indiana reponsible for removing transgender child from their home
A Catholic couple in Indiana is asking the Supreme Court to hold the state accountable for keeping their child out of their home after they declined to use his chosen name and pronouns.
In M.C. and J.C. v. Indiana Department of Child Services, Mary and Jeremy Cox are appealing to the Supreme Court after they were investigated by Indiana officials for refusing to refer to their son using pronouns and a name inconsistent with his biological sex.
Becket is pursuing the case on behalf of the Coxes, arguing state courts allowed Indiana to keep the child from living in his parents' home due to their disagreement with the child's gender identity because of their religious beliefs. Notably, upon completing the investigation, the state determined the allegations of abuse against Mary and Jeremy were unsubstantiated, but still argued that the disagreement over gender identity was distressing to their child.
Lori Windham, vice president and senior counsel at Becket, told Fox News Digital that no parent should ever have to endure what Mary and Jeremy have been forced to go through.
"Keeping a child away from loving parents because of their religious beliefs—even when the state admits there was no abuse or neglect—is wrong and it's against the law," she said. "The Court should take this case and make clear that other states can't take children away because of ideological disagreements."
In 2019, Mary and Jeremy's son told them that he identified as a girl, but in line with their Catholic religious beliefs that God created human beings with an immutable sex, male or female, they did not believe in referring to him using pronouns and a name inconsistent with his biology.
In addition, the Coxes believed their son was struggling with underlying mental health conditions, including an eating disorder, so they sought therapeutic care for both.
But, in 2021, Indiana officials began investigating the Coxes after a report found they were not referring to their child by his preferred gender identity, removing the teen from their custody and placing him in a "gender-affirming" home. Despite the unsubstantiated claims of abuse, they claimed the Coxes made the child's eating disorder worse even though it worsened after he was removed and placed in a transition-affirming home.
The Indiana Department of Child Services declined a Fox News Digital request for comment, saying, "DCS does not comment on ongoing litigation."

"This is what every parent is afraid of," Mary and Jeremy Cox said in a press release. "We love our son and wanted to care for him, but the state of Indiana robbed us of that opportunity by taking him from our home and banning us from speaking to him about gender."
"We are hopeful that the Justices will take our case and protect other parents from having to endure the nightmare we did," they added.
When the case was first heard in trial court, Indiana officials argued the child "should be in a home where she is [ac]cepted for who she is" and restricted the Coxes' visitation time to a few hours once a week, which barred them from speaking to him about their religious views on human sexuality and gender identity. Even though the court determined the Coxes were fit parents, it upheld the removal of their child which was later upheld by the appeals court.
"If this can happen in Indiana, it can happen anywhere," Windhamn said. "Tearing a child away from loving parents because of their religious beliefs, which are shared by millions of Americans, is an outrage to the law, parental rights, and basic human decency. If the Supreme Court doesn't take this case, how many times will this happen to other families?"

Well, in America's case it's "dumb voters and soldiers."Its because we got rid of the classic one room school house system and replaced it with a system modeled after the Prussian education system.
The Prussians were only interested in getting two things out of their education system, factory workers and soldiers.

It's not a stereotype or by-sample-basis when people interview twenty-odd something American women on the street who fail basic questions even a Primary Schooler (that'd be ages 5--11) would know ("What country is Cairo in?" "Africa?")
Also, Americans insisting that Dublin or some other location in Wales or Scotland is in England and vice-versa, and they get all pouty when people from those fucking areas correct them (and almost deck them because they called a Scotsman an Englishman. smh).
If your kids aren't being churned into the military, they're basically taught to be dumb, communist-lite voters who vote for whom they're told to vote for, with an illusion of choice.
This isn't a biased sample, people.
Zack, I'm an utter mess in situations like that on the above camera (hell, I hate even making phone calls), and all I'd need to do is breathe deeply and think for a moment, and even I could answer every single one of those questions (except for one or two of the more America-focused ones, like the exact year the US was founded).Being asked in a setting like that can often add uneeded stress and anxiety.
For instance, I can name just about every ww2 and newer tank.
But when asked in a public forum I often shut down and have messed up
My wife would say something wrong or IDK in these situations due to the stress and anxiety.Zack, I'm an utter mess in situations like that on the above camera (hell, I hate even making phone calls), and all I'd need to do is breathe deeply and think for a moment, and even I could answer every single one of those questions (except for one or two of the more America-focused ones, like the exact year the US was founded).
Trying to excuse being a fucking moron on par with a brain-damaged Forrest Gump on nerves/stage fright is a poor excuse, and you know it.
