I'd appreciate it if the parents raised their kids to respect authority.

Unfortunately the parents are part of the problem. The article states that this started when a mother and her child came to the school targeting a student. Parents shouldn’t be getting involved in children’s disputes.

Respect for authority is kind of a loaded term and not always a good thing. It's better to learn just to respect people as people

Did you see how adults responded to vaccines and mask mandates when guidelines were issued by the CDC?

It’s not even about teaching kids to respect authority; it’s about teaching respect for other PEOPLE.

I’d appreciate it if authority today had done their jobs without corruption and bigotry so they’d be worth respecting. No one should blindly respect a title. That’s how you get “just following orders” type problems.

Hard to do when half the country is on shit jobs with inconsistent schedules and have no shot at properly raising a child.

It’s fun to think that. But at the same time, I bet most of the students arrested can name one elected official in their entire state. Imagine thinking that trying to bite a cop is a smart play.
