Quite frankly, this may be what is exactly needed. Put the inner city kids in boarding-like schools and force them to be educated. They may be kicking and screaming, but it might also solve a lot of problems.

Imagine in a generation or two what the positive outcomes could be.

They’ll get the same Marxist indoctrination, along with discipline and order? No thanks.

Obviously not. A real education, based on the old classical model.

It wouldn’t be a solution if they weren’t getting a real education. Obviously basic arithmetic and English skills would already do a lot.

Imagine if they actually got even more than that, real civics and history classes. Science classes even.

So it is a good idea to have these left wing socialist ineptocracies raise our kids? Maybe it could cut down on abortions.

“We have teachers and union leaders telling us, ‘The problem is with the homes; these kids are in dysfunctional homes,'

Teachers and union leaders? LOL!!!

The homes are dysfunctional because Democrats have created a dysfunctional sub-culture.

And who are some of the scumbags who support those Democrat policies?

Why, teachers and union leaders, of course.

Another fine example of Democrats creating chaos, so they can then claim to have a cure for the chaos.

God help us.

Children are much too important to the state to risk their being raised by armatures.

Anything that gives them EVEN more job security and money they will be happy about. I know a number of teachers in new York. No comment on them.

Hartford, CT had a school superintendent named Anthony Amato. He very much wanted to make each school a center for health care/dental, meals, before and after school care, social services, year-round schools...yada.

He pretty died a failure a few years ago. His persuasions were toward total socialism for schools.

I can’t imagine what his *ideas* would have cost ....since Hartford was [and is] broke. Fortunately he was asked to leave his position. NOL got him for a time.

This notion of taking the kids from cradle to grave is in effect and taking place in very small increments, in urban centers. Socialism creep.

Have you seen what they pay school superintendents these days, even in tiny districts?

Government schooling was intended and designed to destroy the family—focusing on destroying the father-son relationship. Now they have succeeded, so it’s time for the children to move into the school.

There will not be positive outcomes, because government schools are INTENDED to produce illiterates, whether the schools are orphanages or not.

Never mind the supers....principals are all 6 figures.

Our *award winning* school system in a town of about 30K had a problem passing the school budget b/c so few admins and teachers, that they had projected, were not retiring.

Now that children of employees can stay on the parent’s insurance until they’re 26.....employees are hanging in there longer.

Retired principals here, spend their time working in temp positions....making scale, for extended periods of time. Very lucrative for them.

What *father-son relationships*?

There are no fathers....they’re all in jail. Mom is a junkie, possibly a hooker. The black adults did this to themselves.

I was talking about the Progressives. Woodrow Wilson, John Dewey, the whole crowd. One of the main purposes of government schooling was to eliminate Christianity by eliminating the families by which it is transmitted.
