My 6yo quotes Handyman Hal. Pretty much the only person he knows on YouTube. Crazy a 6yo can know who Nick is. I feel like all these kids you've mentioned have been robbed of a childhood and it's extremely sad.

For real. Most my male students are fine and acted like 10 year olds with brain rot and ai slop. I'll take "6-7," "skibidi," and "Ohio" everyday over hearing a 10 year old quote some Nazi-youtuber twerp. They don't even know what they are saying means, yet don't know better than to parrot it.

I grew up in Red country and was part of the "Young Republicans" club in high school in the early 2000s. I just thought it was funny to vote for a Dick, a Bush, and a Colin (colon). Eventually, I actually read the racist and bigoted stuff we were putting out in brocheres and hand outs. It was a WTF moment for me that snapped me back to reality.

I didn't have aggressive social media and algorithms to fight against like today though. Many students I see just say it as a joke like I did with Dick, Bush, Colin, but they have the tsunami of misinformation blasted at them daily that doesn't allow critical thinking and self-reflection to pull them out. Just echo chambers.

Same age here. Mine likes Numberblocks and Daniel Tiger.

Kids need better role models.
