Civilizing barbarians (Ferguson and the decline of schools as a civilizing influence)
Chaos Manor ^ | November 26, 2014 - 12:44 am | Jerry Pournelle

At least one black leader, a State Senator, has declared that we are now in a race war, blacks and their sympathizers vs. everyone else. She has no authority to declare any such thing, and she certainly does not speak for anything like a majority of African Americans, nor, I suspect, for anything like a majority of liberal intellectuals, but it is an astonishing thing to say.

We are not in a race war, but there are similarities to a barbarian invasion. We have a barbarian culture within the United States. The most common cause of death of black males is to be killed by another black male. There are other sub cultures in which homicide is common. Generally the barbarian culture does not interact with the majority of the middle class, but in so-called ghetto areas American citizens cannot avoid interactions with the barbarian culture. They live there, and they can’t avoid it.

Obama just legalized five million to replace blacks at the workplace and ballot box. He’s the worst thing that ever happened to blacks in America. The anti-Lincoln.

“We have a barbarian culture within the United States.”

Winner! We have a winner! No other people need reply.

Democrats have taught Ferguson rioters and other black constituents that they are victims, that they need no education, that the government will provide free stuff, and the stuff not provided is available for free at local businesses by spreading the store’s wealth, and white people are responsible.

This is modern liberalism in action.

If there aren’t enough black police, just become one.
But, that would mean having no criminal record and being able to pass a drug test.

The only silver lining to his amnesty to millions of invaders and emptying our coffers is what it will do to the American welfare recipient.

Their nonsense would go on forever otherwise.

When schools disciplined back in the day, it was just an extension of what you were getting at home. If I got cracked at school and went home I told my parents, I’d likely get cracked again. Now, if you raise your voice to a child, you get backtalk, which is very often what they do at home. Education starts in the home and teachers cannot be educators and disciplinarians when a child has gotten neither at home.

Nope...that would be racist so it will not be required for Black officers.

I don’t understand why the beloved school unions aren’t all over this. Teachers are being assaulted left and right by students. Why don’t the unions step in and protect teachers with a zero tolerance policy?

The unions place political agenda above the safety of the teachers. And the stupid teachers continue to support the unions who support the status quo of getting any democrat elected, no matter what.

Government took over schools as part of a larger agenda: to destroy the family. The schools are doing exactly what they were INTENDED and DESIGNED to do—destroy American society and wipe out Christianity.

Who has been attacking and destroying America for over a century? Carnegie. Ford. Rockefeller. And several other huge foundations.

“Who has been attacking and destroying America for over a century?”

Maybe not for over a century, because once upon a time they were illegal, but since Kennedy, the nation’s absolute, unarguably worst enemy has been public employee unions. They made Detroit what it is today, and they are still doing the same to hundreds of other local governments.

Just one article here-

There was a time when schools were in loco parentis. Parents were allowed to spank and so were teachers and administrators.
What have kids learned in school? They watch videos of the segregation riots with massive violence. The result? Integration. They watch the videos of the anti-war riots. The result? Our part of the war ended.
What did they learn? Violent riots get them what they want.

It is a culture war. Civilized versus uncivilized. However, the race-baiters make their money off having racial definitions of everything. I don’t care who or what you are. If you are uncivilized you should not be here. Either you should be in prison or you should be deported or exiled.

You are one of the very few conservatives who “get it”. The rest are deluded. They believe that government owned K-12 single-payer and socialist-entitlement schools can be reformed. When in the history of humankind has it been possible to reform a price-fixed, compulsory-use, and socialist-entitlement monopoly? Answer: Never.
