Unlearned Lessons of 9/11, a Quarter-Century Later
Security agencies and immigration rules expanded after the attacks, while younger Americans now know 9/11 mainly through history lessons.
- Friday marks 25 years since the Sept. 11 attacks transformed American society, national security, and global policy in a single Tuesday when the nation's sense of safety fundamentally shifted.
- Post-9/11 government choices restructured agencies and created the Department of Homeland Security and Transportation Security Administration, establishing permanent heightened security and spawning a bureaucracy accounting for nearly 65,000 federal employees.
- The impact extended to other communities, with Arizona gas station owner Balbir Singh Sodhi, a Sikh, killed four days after the attacks by an assailant assuming he was Arab.
- For younger generations born after 2001, 9/11 is history learned in classrooms; Vida Lashgari, 21, said the COVID-19 pandemic was "the closest I've ever felt to my world changing overnight."
- Sociology professor Amy Sodaro at the Borough of Manhattan Community College notes that new geopolitical events alter public memory, with the anniversary now competing for space in collective consciousness.
