Indeed-

It is in vogue to be anti-American and express thoughts which defy any rational sentiments.

It is the era of liberalism- insanity and opposition to reason is the order of the day. It is akin to a child's game of "opposite day".

If liberalism persists, it will lead to the balkanization of the US.

Too much drama and the boss is a hardass..
Are you saying kids don't get jobs until they are out of school? Most kids have jobs after school as soon as they are old enough. Don't waste valuable time of teachers to teach your kids how to work well with others. That's your job. Don't have kids if you expect teachers to raise them.

Who gets grades in the real world? I don't. I also don't work in some weird infantile industry but apparently you do? Bizarre.

I'm the boss. I own and run 4 businesses. 2 are seasonal.

Lol, of course you do. Everyone on here owns a business & everyone is wealthy. Keyboard commandos. So boss, do you dole out grades to your employees?

No, I think what's in vogue is a more thoughtful approach to what being an American really means, rather than some cookie-cutter naive approach.

Never needed a gun in school. Guns are for cowards.

Tell that to your boss all high and mighty.
If your boss is worth his or her salt your performance reviews will be based on your...well, job performance. Not your political views. Unless, of course, you are working for a political campaign or something of that nature.
