Yes, yes, and yes again. And when it comes to the urban schools, money is not the answer.
Courage is the answer. The schools need to have the courage to remove the few disruptive students from the classrooms, and put them in an alternative school.
But the schools do not have the courage to do that. They do not have the courage to stand up to the parents of the disruptive students, and their lawyers.
So instead the good students must suffer as the disruptive students run wild.
The point YOU obviously missed is that this is NOT about RACE per se.
Agreed! But what you're missing is that the author of the article goes out of his/her way to make it about all about race.
To some extent, you are correct to say it’s not ALL about race.
But the author didn’t make it so: The black welfare, entitlement sub-culture that created these people made it so.
LR, what you are missing is the liberals have made everything about race.
Traffic ticket - racism, poor academic achievement - racist curriculum, poverty - racism from slavery (150 years should be enough time to recover), the nuclear family - racist (we doesn't live dat way), a Hispanic male shoots and kills a black male in a scuffle- racism but a group of black males killing a lone white male is not racist, and I could go on and on.
Black profiteers continue the racist screed and they are supported by enablers like LR! Let one voice speak the truth o the current situation and LR steps up to scream RACISM!
This nation has allowed 12% of the population to have far too much influence in society in order to avoid an appearance of prejudice. What do we have to show for the effort? The situation presented in this article and the inevitable race war to follow when the Obama/New World Order crowd achieves their goal of destruction of the US economy and culture.
This is not a race issue - this is a cultural issue and the present situation is nothing more than a breakdown of the culture present when the US was a great nation.
