Why does everyone hate Gen Alpha? Read enough comments about kids online, and you might start asking that question. One child repeats a strange meme. Another gets upset when a tablet is taken away. A classroom video appears with a dramatic caption. Suddenly, the comments are judging an entire generation. They cannot read. They have…
