American values dying with common sense

America is dying. Look around, it can be seen everywhere. College-age people cannot handle anyone who disagrees with their idealism. Free speech is no longer accepted. University heads bow down to the woke culture. Others, like CEOs of businesses and professional sports and even ESPN, bend to the whims of woke thinking.
For some reason common sense is no longer accepted. The invasion of women’s sports by ‘trans’ males who now want to be women is so unfair and disrespects all women and their achievements over the last 30 years.
The media is no longer objective about all of these social changes. People are afraid to speak up. Better to stay silent than try to have a mature conversation about what is out of control.
People who are intelligent and highly educated are promoting this idea of kids changing their sexual identity. If I had a child trying to decide a career path I would recommend psychiatry. There are a lot of disturbed young people out there and it will only get worse for years to come if powerful people don’t start to care.
