The problems we face eventually boil down to poor parenting, and turning the kids over to loonies for their education. Conservatives’ lack of direct participation in everyday schooling and governance matters is simply abdication of responsibility.
I think ALL of this stems back to the dissolution of the family. The frequency of single parent households dooms the next generation. They don’t have capital. They turn over “parenting” to a minimum wage teaching school drop out. They don’t get “dads” at home addressing culture and hard work.
Of course you always get the, “I only had a Mom and I turned out OK.” For the most part…that is simply not true.
