Has anyone picked up any children's books lately?

Everything you see, for children, is about being like the rest of the herd. Not being independent of thought or spirit. Everyone needs to be like everyone else, and be LIKED by everyone else.

I have watched literature change dramatically over the last 30 years. When I was a kid growing up, there were stories about individuals striking out against the grain, and now, everyone is fighting the urge to be independent, in order to help the rest of the group.

People wonder why schools are failing to produce critical thinkers, and intelligent children. I have the answer. When a child is told that they must be like everyone else, it's a pass for them to be stupid, just like the rest of the herd. When I use the word herd, it's the truth. People are herd animals, they aren't individuals anymore. Everything is a team effort, and here's the real kicker, there's no incentive to do something extraordinary.

The schools are where all of this nonsense has started and for at least the last 35 years, we've had nothing but betrayal at the hands of the educational system.

You want change, throw out every book your child reads that smacks of the herd mindset. Make them read REAL books about real people that will inspire them to be better than the herd.

So much truth in your comment.

People are both social and individual beings otherwise we wouldn't have lived together in groups since the beginning of human history.

This is true.

Uni-tribalism is rampant; Something is only "in" or "out" without various degrees. The herd-mentality is suffocating individualism amongst young people while the "rebellion" of rejecting piercings, tats, and the ghetto culture is frowned upon.

Yep. A generation of pods. Exactly the job of public school indoctrination. The gubmint must be proud.

well said, tommy. this has been the agenda for a very, very long time. it's funny though, growing up in the 50s and 60s, i never saw it. things seemed so much freer then.

I have watched literature change dramatically over the last 30 years.

The demise began with the creation of the Department of Education in October of 1979 and gotten progressively worse every year since inception.

However, I must disagree with your analysis of children's literature. The literature showing stories of individuals striking out against the grain are abundant. Inspiration is abundant at all reading levels. The problem is children read much less these days and parents read less to their children when they are little. Children learn to be life long readers from example and great books abound. There is no shortage.
