Society has to evolve - no question. Society cannot evolve in a forward direction unless those who make decisions have the acquired wisdom to understand the next step. My point is that kids in HS or college who have yet to take what they've learned, put it to use, understand what it takes to be successful in the world - to even understand what it takes to survive without safety nets have not earned the right to "evolve" society. Someone today with tens of thousand (or worse hundreds of thousands) of educational debt is certainly in no position to tell the rest of us what we need to change. Wisdom is attained through the school of hard knocks; idealism is juvenile fantasy that most humans have from birth. "Sins of the parents" is a term generally born of idealism and a lack of comprehension or worse ... willingness to understand why. You can't rationally define your "religion as "progressive" and pretend it's a forward step, and you for damn sure can't measure the policies of the past based on the newly "enlightened" present. I'm in my 70s and still learning the whys and wherefores; I can promise you haven't acquired anywhere near the wisdom people my age have - we've all been where you are and understand with age how stupid we were back then.
