Who would give up boozing at the Yale Club for teaching some inner city thugs?

Someone who wanted to sell a lot of books he would write about the experience.

Now there’s a good reason!

I’ll probably get it if it’s on Kindle, just for the laughs.

I think the guy really did have some considerable sense of ideals.
People often do decide that life isn’t all about them. Quite a few Catholic Saints were just like that.
This guy obvious should have done something about being gay first, but whatever.
I also understand the disillusion. Under current conditions there isn’t much that can be done with the sort of kid they have to work with.
The only fix for kids so far gone is separation of every possible one that can be more easily rescued, and segregation of the worst cases in rigid, 24x7, military programs with fearsome corporal punishment. And yes I know that is impossible, and even if it were possible may fail or backfire for many. Life is tragedy.

He was probably sincere... the reality of inner city black neighborhoods is very different than what's presented to useful liberal idiots.

Those neighborhoods are both better - and worse - than presented.
