(Btw I had comments saying, "No one needs egg nog!" In the wealthiest nation on earth, the fact that we can't afford eggnog at the holidays =/= American "greatness". They want us accepting deprivation while they live in luxury)

One of the great untold and most massively important stories of this moment is that the Right Wing authoritarian movement is predicated on abused people fighting like hell to make sure that abuse and trauma continue forward and even accelerates.
It's about hurting kids and ruining their lives.

My experience as well. So far we're 2-for-2 on kids having a largely bullying/abuse-free middle school experience. Not without bumpy spots of course, but light years away from what I endured.
My hot take: the anti-bullying stuff has really worked, which is why conservatives are pushing back at it.

for what it’s worth I got roped into helping out with my sixth grader’s extracurricular thing so I’ve had more recent contact with middle schoolers who aren’t mine than I usually do, and biased sample/biased reviewer/etc but my verdict is that the kids are all right
