The recent case being publicised seems to lay the blame for all that happened prior to the addiction squarely on the school system. while it may not be perfect, and they do have flaws that need to be addressed, they are not the “bad guys” who should be blamed for all societies ills.
Just want to point out that from everything I have listened to and read, even if they were placing blame 100% on the school system, which I don’t think they did, they did not blame all societies ills”, they spoke of their situation, specifically. And honestly, even though the system is clearly NOT to blame for all societies ills, that doesn’t mean that there are not situations , very specific situations, where they might be all of the problem. Most of the time the comment you opened with probably applies, that it is a result of a series of events. It would just be much easier to swallow if our school system wasn’t such a big part of either the source or the final blows.
