Something Essential is Missing in Our Youth 。 。 。

America's teachers know something has gone terribly wrong。 It's an open secret that civic and social decline has left our young people hollowed out—their reason undeveloped， their values uninformed， and their humanity diminished。

Digital hermits， students have little interest in marriage and family。 They sneer at patriotism， venerate rioters and vandals， and despise the heroes who built the free， fair， and prosperous society they seek to dismantle。 Friendless and depressed， they eat alone， study alone， even "socialize" alone。

These problems have festered for years， but lockdowns and social distancing have magnified them， and educators are watching a generation slip from their grasp。

In Hollowed Out， Jeremy S。 Adams， one of America's best high school teachers， reveals why America's students have rejected the wisdom， culture， and institutions of Western civilization。 But though the cult of radical individualism has usurped personal responsibility， he insists there is still hope that parents， teachers， and other leaders can revive the souls of America's hollowed-out generation。
