I think current parents are less mature and less civil than back in the day parents. My dad would never have brought a baseball bat to beat up a kid I went to school with , he wouldn’t have even dreamed of questioning a teacher’s authority. There are a lot more self centered, narcissists these days and they happen to have kids.

I call partial BS. I’ve witnessed several instances of parents showing up to fight on their kids behalf. Granted in my day it was an abusive teacher or handsy security guard - but parents would show up ready to do harm (to another adult).

I have to agree with you and point out that those parents were raised by the previous generation that tended to be extremely hands off and is currently showing their true colors with their entitlement. They're the fruit of the works of previous generations.
