I had this discussion with my brother one day. He said that he bets if he or I raised one of these kids since their birth, they would be getting good grades, have no record, and lead a normal life.
I don’t know how much of a part the bell curve would play.
If I had done that in high school, I would have gotten knocked across the room, suspended, and caught hell from my parents when I got home. ‘Course, I’m just an old white male, so what do I know?
I grew up with a lunch box and my mom gave me sandwiches, fruits and milk or sometimes my thermos had leftovers or soup.
This is a multi-ethnic, multi-national place, the majority the sons and daughters of Asian immigrants
Funny how the article doesn’t clarify that.
A couple of generations ago, the Democrats were openly the party of the Klan. They burned several hundred black churches and lynched over 3,000 blacks, with a goal of putting people they openly hated in their place. The Democrat/Klan strategy failed to have any major effect on the black population as a whole beyond fear.
Today, the Democrats are openly the party of helping the unfortunate whom they claim cannot compete on a level playing field. They have created dozens of programs to take care of adults they see as needing surrogate parents, even healthy adults. The Democrats have destroyed urban schools, destroyed the black family, and created a black-centered prison industrial complex. They have intentionally inflicted devastating damage on the black population as a whole, and I imagine the surviving Klansmen are proud of their Democrat party finally accomplishing their long-term goals. Democrats and other racists disgust me.
I went to a Catholic all-boys high school - not that terribly long ago. Discipline was not a problem - at all. Anyone making a gesture like that to a teacher would have been expelled before the afternoon was over.
To allow it in black majority or “poor” schools is a slur against these kids. They can’t be held to the same standards as others? What about those who want to learn?
