No amount of government intervention can ever overcome nature.

Ah, but what about “midnight basketball”?

LOL!!

And “ebonics”?

I’m sure employers really WANT that!

Yes, that’s how “government” helps. Making sure they are unemployable and crime more appealing for $$$.

It all comes down to a failure of families, caused by a moral failure of the parents. And you are right, there is nothing the gov’t can do to fix that problem.

But, for many Americans, there is NO problem a new law can’t fix.

I agree with 2 of the “recommendations”: 1) all male schools from grades 1-12, and 2)greater TWO parent involvement.

But, The Washington Post just can’t stray from the old “greater federal government involvement” mantra.

Can anyone doubt that the biggest problem for the last 42 years has been the “government involvement” embodied in The Great Society ?

Yet, The Washington Post proposes even more federal “solutions” ? Will these folks never wake up ?

Very clever - very racist in its assumption - but very clever.

I completely agree about government intervention, but please elaborate on what you mean about nature.
