2/3 of Detroit students are chronically truant????

Holy Toledo.

So, is the problem that Detroit has some of the worst public schools in the country, or that they have poor outcomes because so many kids don’t go to school????

That is the stark reality of The Black Underclass. They cannot be educated, trained, or civilized...only maintained/warehoused somehow under the current system.

They will always be an enormous drag on the progress of the rest of black Americans and the country as a whole.

If the stupid politicians hadn’t lowered the import tariffs and offshored our industries and jobs, I might agree with you.

But right now, the best thing we can do for the downtrodden is get the economy going again.

I for one am not willing to say that the 100 million Americans that need food assistance are all deadbeats. Not when we are running a huge trade deficit that is strictly a result of stupid government policies.

Military school would be a good choice for many of the males.

I can live with that statement,

Cant stand the single mother with 5 kids stuff though. White or black.

I know this will sound hard to believe, the THREE gals when i was younger asked me to have a kid with them while we were dating.

Why would i do that?

Why do THEY do that. Not once. Not twice. But three, four or five times.

That’s got to stop being rewarded.

I dont know what answer.

I dont know how you give help to married couples and not to unmarried people with kids.

I wish i had the answers. I’m not that smart.

But if you pay taxes, then you are paying their way and should be concerned about it all.

Also, you should be concerned since this affects our society.

Most of it isn’t in the Constitution. Then again, our Constitution isn’t really followed anymore so there’s that.

You're welcome. And I'll say this for my job...never a dull day!

Oh, and let me add a side note. Our administration, and our union leadership, all wacko liberal. Not just liberal, but wacko liberal. But among the actual teachers...I'm guessing there's more conservatives there than in the general population. Gritty, real-life experience tends to make a person conservative.

You are DEAD right about the constitution.

Our founding fathers would die of laughter or from crying if they saw us GIVING TO HEALTHY PEOPLE food, lodging, money..for no good reason.

When I drove my cab I would see maybe 50 of obama’s sons hanging in front of each bodega or deli talking smack about their prison term or how tough they were.

I am QUITE SURE not all of the hundreds i would see were working the overnight shift and that is why they were out during the day.

they would took about hoe many babies they had. if you had one, you were a loser

Unfortunately many of the inner city kids don’t have the ability to do the school work.

Sounds like a similar academy Deion Sanders had here in Dallas, they wound up shutting it down.

I don't know how we stop the cultural decay either. There are some things that we can do.
