Excellent commentary; so true. Sadly, it may indeed take a REAL calamity in order to stifle, if only temporarily, the type of trivial, illiberal nonsense which seems to dominate the cultural discourse of the younger generations; aided and abetted by the cowardly so-called adults in the room. If the COVID-19 experience is any indicator, it will have to be a much bigger catastrophe, for which I fear we will be woefully unequipped to overcome. It would help if we could somehow return to teaching non-revisionist history to our ignorant students.
