Students are taught to report anyone who "offends" them.
Universities even provide hotlines.
The @CoddlingMovie points out how that hurts students.
Here are a few students’ experiences with campus indoctrination:

The Coddling of the American Mind movie sounds like a great way to bring the book’s ideas to life with real-world stories.
It’s interesting to see a topic like free speech and free play being explored in a more engaging, visual format.

If we're talking about cutting whole agencies, @DOGE, let's start with @TSA, which has never passed any sort of cost-benefit analysis and might just stand for 'Taking Scissors Away,' 'Too Stupid for @Arbys,' or 'Thousands Standing Around.' Via @reason @tedbalaker, circa 2010 (!)

Yeah, we probably shouldn't be teaching them the mental habits of anxious & depressed people under the theory that will help inspire them save the world. It's just making them miserable & alienated.

GenZ 12th graders are more pessimistic about the world than any generation in decades.
This corresponds with rates of anxiety and depression that are also through the roof.

My prediction in @WIRED :
2025 will be the year when "Social media companies will finally acknowledge—or be forced to acknowledge —that they now own childhood, and they bear at least some responsibility for what they are doing to children."
