I wonder if some of this is coming from kids raised by single mothers. In most families the mom is the nurturer and the father the disciplinarian. Another words, moms are much more likely to assume their little angles are not at fault, and find excuses. Even if the kid is wrong, moms are less likely to significantly punish the kid, especially with a spanking.
I remember when I'd get in trouble at school, my dad always assumed the teacher was right, where as my mom was less likely to think that way. Even if she was sure I was wrong, she would try to keep the punishment to a minimum or get it reduced somewhere along the way.
I say this not to imply all kids will turn out that way because some single mothers still have the fathers in the kids life, or they do a decent job at playing both roles. However with limited time and resources, it would be tough for any parent to play both roles.
For example, back in the day it was much more common for kids to be raised by a widowed father, than it is today. That was because a higher percentage of moms died during, or from complications of childbirth. Those dads still had to work, and the kids were stuck with a less empathetic disciplinarian instead of a nurturer. Granted some dads did ok, or the woman they would remarry filled the role. Still, I imagine kids were much more likely to get their rears spanked, and expected to pull themselves up by their boot straps.
Obviously back in those days few single moms were running around compared with today, as it was a huge social stigma to raise kids out of wedlock, and divorce was very uncommon.
Plus once kids start coming into their own, especially boys, they need men to keep them in line. At a certain point, only a man can physically handle their teenage son if need be, and that helps to keep the potentially unruly boys in line. Kids, especially boys raised without dads are much more likely to commit crimes, hence part of the huge problem in the current black culture.
So while we no longer value the institution of marriage like we once did, we'd better find a way to figure out what is causing this new social degradation.
