Have We Become Too Politically Correct? @JockoPodcastOfficial #navyseals #mikeritland #america
About this video
Ritland argues that society has overcorrected from past problems and become too politically correct, resulting in reduced accountability for children in schools and at home. He claims this has produced a generation of entitled individuals who have never faced consequences for bad behavior or been told no. While acknowledging some kids are “awesome and normal,” he suggests they may not be the majority, though he notes his perspective might be influenced by the kids around his own children.
Key takeaways
- Ritland believes society has overcorrected toward political correctness, with schools no longer punishing children appropriately and kids lacking accountability
- Ritland claims this overcorrection has created entitled, selfish young people who have never faced consequences for disrespect or bad behavior
- Ritland acknowledges his perspective may be skewed by the kids in his immediate circle, who tend to be well-behaved and motivated
