I am not surprised. The issue, to my old school mind, is parenting.
The lack of it. People don't want to be parents. They don't want to discipline their kids and raise them properly. They are mad because the schools are not teaching their kids to behave.
These 'parents', which is not the right term, the sperm and egg donors are generally people with no discipline who spoil their children and teach them to grow up and be entitled little monsters.
I'm over 50 and raised 2 children, 11 years apart. The changes between daughter 1 and daughter 2 were staggering.
9 year old girls going to school in see through lace shirts and mini-skirts. 9 year old boys at my house, asking me who I was to tell them what to do. They were not invited back. I don't tolerate rude behavior.
Parents telling me I am mean and cruel, because I made my daughters work if they wanted things. I didn't give them cell phones and tablets. They had chores they had to do, that they were not paid for as part of living in my house.
If they wanted money, they could ask for extra work. My mother in law, the only one within 1000 miles, did the same with my kids - gave them chores and gave them lots of chances to make money, if they didn't mind working. Some friends also go it on it and the kids would work together, like yard work, painting, extra cleaning jobs (what house with kids doesn't have them?)
It caused issues, even with my wife who is not a disciplinarian and often fought against me. I'm stubborn and it was one thing i never backed off from.
My youngest, at 17, after being caught lying about where she was going was grounded. She snuck out the window with a bag and ran to her mom's (married in Spain in the USAF to a woman who started asking for a divorce around the same time she was legally established here) - she lived there her last year of high school. We barely spoke outside of family gatherings until she was 22 and realized that I was the one on her side. Even when it seemed like I was not.
My other daughter bitterly complained about "my overbearing, military father" which is funny, as I am not very military in my bearing. What I am is stubborn and on some subjects, I will not be moved.
With her it was about 18 months at the end of high school when she said she hated me and that I ruined her life with my rules.
I am very happy to say that both of my daughters have since thanked me for saying "NO!" and being rough, because the lessons made sense to them finally. Our family is very tight and I love that BOTH my daughters want to have their parties at my house. Now that they are on their own, we can be friends - in a way we could not when they were children. My wife wanted to be the youngest's friend and did that which was hard, as it made her the good guy and me the bad guy. I was the only one who said no.
I wanted to be their friend, but I was sure that being a good parent came first. That means setting rules and enforcing them almost ruthlessly. If you don't enforce your rules, don't have them. An unenforced rule (or law) makes every other law weaker.
