I do not believe it's a sense of entitlement. I believe it's a lack of morals. You take God out of the schools, you tell kids that they can make up their own minds on what's right and what's wrong, and you end up with kids like this. Our society has lost it's morals. We have ceased to teach our children the difference between right and wrong and convinced them that they should somehow just "know" and whatever they believe is right. No wonder they felt no obligation to clean up their mess, they don't believe they did anything wrong.
oh my yes, religion is the answer to all our problems. Billy the Kid was a fine example of when religion was forced upon people in a public school system.
