We have talked a lot over the years about the decline in the birthrate and the rapidly increasing number of young adults who are refusing to get married and have children. As much as we’ve discussed the subject, we still have not discussed it enough. It is one of the great crises facing our civilization at the present moment.

How Parenting Got So Intense
“You might have heard of the Free-Range parenting movement. It’s basically this idea that kids should still be able to run free until the streetlights come on. These are parents who are actively resisting both the helicopter parenting and the intensive parenting. The problem with Free-Range parenting is that there are no other kids out in the street after school for their kids to run free with.”

The Disparate Effects of Household Instability on Children’s Education
In contrast to evidence that family instability and parental divorce have sizable negative effects on white children’s education, the effects on black children’s education have been shown to be small or even absent.

Trump promises to ‘support bringing back prayer’ to schools
President-elect Donald Trump pledged to “support bringing back prayer” to schools as part of a 10-point plan to reform America’s educational system. In a video released in September, Trump enumerated this goal among nine others designed to increase the quality of education in the U.S. and better prepare students to “succeed in the world of work and in life.” The first goals of his plan, listed on his campaign website as part of his Agenda47, include restoring parental rights in education, supporting the parental election of principals and school boards’ ability to fire poor principals and teachers, and focus on the essentials of education instead of “political indoctrination” such as critical race theory (CRT).

Trump’s Promise to Shutter Dept of Education Could End Woke Agenda in Schools
“When President-elect Donald Trump was in the midst of campaigning, he promised numerous times to shut down the Department of Education and return education to the states.
As he said at one campaign rally back in September:

But his agenda for education goes far beyond this. And, if accomplished, it would begin to release schools from the stranglehold of woke ideologies, end the sexualization and confusion children, bring about more accountability, safeguard parents’ rights, and stop the assault on girls sports, safety and privacy.”

Sweden Warns Parents: Quit Plopping Your Baby In Front Of Brain-Rotting Screens
According to Fortune, the guidelines state that children under the age of 2 should not have any time on screens. The new guidance from Sweden’s Public Health Agency suggests that children between the ages of 2 and 5 should have no more than an hour of screen time, including watching television, video chatting, and playing games on phones and tablets.
