I love when unmarried people without their own families give parenting and education advice.  

ALL of the many young people I personally know (a considerable number as they are friends of my five grandchildren) are eager to learn, polite, kind, respectful, engaged "ladies and gentlemen" who, nevertheless, will stand up for their beliefs, just as they have been encouraged to do.   They are particularly concerned about factual accuracy, inclusion of diverse races and cultures, respect for (real) science and have a genuine concern for environmental and social issues.  Most have enthusiastically participated in community service efforts, even out of the US.  

I applaud, not denigrate, them and their excellent teachers.
