The decline of our society is brought about intentionally by our “leaders”.

Dumb’m down, then control them.

If 94% are black, what are the other 6%? Regardless of skin color, they are probably not white. Those schools have been hell holes for years. Maybe Obama should grant stimulus money to issue them all Ipads and close the schools. They would probably be further up the education ladder. They might even have to learn to read. Obamapads for the masses. Oh! nevermind. That would just help aid the success of Obama’s civilian army drones. He would just tweet them to call them up.

I, too, thought okay - Beaumont and Saginaw - gotta be Texas. Didn’t get beyond the first line of the article though. Still wonder why a Beaumont paper would be carrying writing about something that happened in Michigan. But then remembered that a lot of articles about events in the U.S. come from England.

Originally from Kansas but did three month TDY with my company in Beaumont many years ago. First time to Texas other than the Dallas area. Talk about culture shock. Ended up spending most of my spare time drinking at the BPM.

There are schools that are sooooo horrific spiritually, emotionally, physically, and ***educationally** that it would be better for the child to NEVER GO TO SCHOOL!

This school seems to be one of those schools. Yes, I am shouting, Yes, I am serious.

Illiteracy and innumeracy can be fixed. Dead or crippled can't be and death of the soul is **eternal**!

When I was a kid there was a Saginaw, Missouri also.

It was a small berg, and I don’t know if it exists today.

The local gas station guy there was named Denton, and he called me cotton top.

I’m not sure how they come up with these names. Put a bunch of vowels in one hat and in the other consonants. Then pull them out randomly. You could come up with something like “Quarntasia”

Not to be impolite to the folks still living there, but I’ve often heard of Beaumont being referred to as the armpit of the world-—LOL!

It was a great place to grow up back in the 40’s and 50’s. Went to my high school reunion a couple of weeks ago, and it was a very bittersweet occasion. Several more of my classmates have gone to their reward since we last met, and some of the ones who were there had experienced strokes and other maladies that had them confined to wheelchairs—but their spirits were still high.

Hey—we graduated in 1955—and some people think that makes us old—LOL!

I didn’t graduate until 1957 and since I skipped a year during grade school was a year younger than all my classmates. When I went to my 50 year reunion, reminded my son when he started talking about “old timers” that were there that I was a year younger than everyone else. His response dealt with the fact that at our age one year really didn’t matter that much. But it really does.

My high school class has a gathering every September and I wasn’t able to go for about four years so really noticed how much people had aged when I went last year - that is obviously everyone but me - LOL. One of my classmates has a grandson who plays the bagpipes and we had the ringing of a bell and the reading of the names of everyone who has gone on before us. Our numbers are indeed dwindling and we’ve lost three more to cancer since our gathering in 2012.

Never heard Beaumont referred to as the armpit, but rather a portion of the body lower down that starts with a b and rhymes with towel and not of the world, but just of Texas. Given the state of some of our cities, I would a whole lot rather live in Beaumont that in Detroit.

“Kids like this never have a chance. The decline of our society is so sad.”

It is sad. These kids are a product of the culture. I almost said ‘their’ culture, but it rapidly infiltrating into the ‘mainstream’ culture.

I postulate that the kids are “second-generation ‘gangsta/ghetto’.” Their parents/guardians also grew up in the ‘gangsta’ culture and simply do not see anything out of the ordinary with it.

In some way, it is like the Country Club parents renting a party-bus to transport their kids to the weekend after-party house at the Shore, anticipating the kids will just experiment with alcohol, and maybe get to ‘second-base.’ They don't see anything wrong with that.

The ‘Gangsta/ghetto’ culture is currently more violent and misogynistic. It is, however, becoming mainstream.

I do not know what the answer is, except to do our best to educate and take care of our own kids as well as we can.
