We Don't Build Character Anymore

Nice piece at WSJ about sexual harassment in school. We wonder if our youth will grow up with any character, and then we coddle them and give into them and never test them. And then we're shocked that the kids grow up irresponsible and live with their folks until they're 30, playing videogames and whining about working 24 hours a week.

From the intro:

We didn't have "sexual" or "harassment" In The Old Days (henceforth, ITOD) when I was in school. The words were in the dictionary, but adults did not say "sex" in the presence of kids. Uh-uh. Children repeated things like that. And I certainly never heard a teacher use a silver-dollar word like "harassment" to describe the human-nature orneriness of children stuffed into a schoolhouse all day. ITOD we called it "teasing" or "picking on (someone)."
