Interesting that leftists are Darwinists. Yet they want the opposite in their politics.

Full title of his seminal work is: “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life”.

...no dads in the home...

That's an assumption on your part. You don't know anything about the kids in this video.

...and the schools haven’t paddled a kid in 40+ years.

In Alabama? Check your facts. They paddle to this day.

So it's a combination of pack animals and a human being. I understand the black "youths" being unable to control their simian urges, we see it all the time. It's just so sad to see white kids trying to "act black" simply for acceptance.

America's adolescent-attracting Rap-thug culture is seducing white kids to "act black." In a couple years, it'll tear their guts out when they realize what a sellout they were just because they were naive, impressionable and insecure. It'll emotionally cripple them with self-loathing, just like it does all the blacks they mistakenly idolize.

Survival of the Unfit

Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution (often referred to as The Theory of Survival of the Fittest) describes the positive effects resulting from any “pressure” on an animal species that removes the least fit among the species and allows only the most fit of the species to reproduce. Many of us are well aware of this “Survival of the Fittest” theory, but few are aware that Darwin also makes mention of the negative effects resulting from unlimited reproduction of a species’ least fit when the weak, the lazy, and the stupid are left unchecked.

We like to think otherwise, but our species, Homo sapiens-sapiens, isn’t that long “out of the trees” and the same laws of nature that affect all of God’s creatures apply equally to us. If we were to observe any other species that had been allowed to reproduce without limitations, we would know immediately what the consequences will be.

Whenever the weak; lazy; and stupid of a species are allowed to reproduce unimpeded by predators that feed off the weak; lazy; and stupid, they soon outnumber the strong, productive, and intelligent. When the weak/lazy/stupid dominate the gene pool, the entire population becomes weak/ lazy/stupid, and then the population collapses.

This was one of the reasons we Homeschooled. Besides not being bullied, he went up six grade levels in reading (tested) in one year. Best thing we ever did.

Public schools had told him and us he would never go to college as well.

> That’s what zero tolerance, anti bullying policies get you. > Even an innocent victim is treated as guilty and the actual bullies get little punishment.

Very true words. We always get a call from the school when my grandson defends himself from muzzies.

However,

The bullies in my grandson’s school have discovered that annoying my 5-1/2 yo grandson is done at their own peril. We have been called to the school twice to explain his actions, which are the result on nearly a year of martial arts classes 3 times a week. The school officials think the classes are inappropriate (liberals), and contrary to their zero tolerance policies, but we disagree, because they work.
Bullies do not like receiving a flying kick to the mouth from a 5-1/2 year old who’s had 4 karate belt advancements and is about to go up another belt level.
We learned this lesson with his aunt many years ago who as a third grader sent 3 sixth grade boys to the emergency room for trying to beat her up.

Someone remind me again why sending a child to public school is so much better than homeschooling?

I don't know anyone who argues that it is better than homeschooling. I could argue that in some instances it is worth doing for the cost of one parent's salary.

We chose to buy a house and build a life in an area that is still "first world". They still sing Christian themed songs at the elementary school holiday concert. There are no gangs or English as a second language classes. There are archery clubs and VERY active 4H and FFA programs. All of the teachers and administrators in the school know all of the kids and who their parents are and who their siblings are. When you go to parent teacher conferences or assemblies with the principals, they ALL show their dislike of Common Core and assure the parents that they acknowledge it sucks and they are doing their best to educate our kids despite it. The school district is the best in the county and one of the best in the large metropolitan area consisting of 6 counties.

Are there somethings I don't like....sure.

I would definitely choose to give up my wife's income and homeschool if our only option was an inner city school or one populated by a large percentage of third worlders or thugs like in this video. But overall, I am happy with the public education that my kids have got so far.

"...If the roles were reversed..."

Oh, they will be soon enough. Americans aren't going to keep putting up with this racist abuse from a bunch of knuckle-dragging, brain-dead pimps and growed-up crack babies once the "I hate whitey" Retard In Chief is removed from the soon to be fumigated White Hut.

When we finally unleash our God-given right to self-defense, it's gonna be like Tina said to Ike:

"Go ahead, hit again, tough guy..., and this time put some stank on it!"

In a way, not to belittle the trauma the victim suffered, I’m glad this happened and was videoed. First of all, the school cannot wiggle out of this like so many do, and secondly, there is supposed to be a teacher or administrator in the hallway between classes, in each hallway and pathway the students use.

The video shows there was not. Someone will be punished for that alone. People will want to know what actions the school took, including why a teacher wasn’t there.

The school will now be extra vigilant about stuff like this happening, parents too, and the bullies will no doubt wish they hadn’t done it. The reaction from across the country will force the school to man up and seriously fix this.

If they let the bullies off the hook, people will be further outraged, and that cannot be good for the school administrators. The last thing a school administrator wants is to be thrown under the bus and lose the gravy train job.

In other words, their hands are tied as far as ignoring this.

The kid who was bullied, instead of running away, should have turned around and cold-cocked the bully. One shot in the nose and it would have been over.

Well stated. There is no strength in “diversity.” It is UNITY that makes a nation strong. Our national motto isn’t “E Unus Pluribum,” “From one, many.”

I stand corrected.

But it is still legal in the State of Alabama, and has been used as recently as 15 years ago in Mobile.

I am a public school teacher & I completely understand & support people who homeschool. I went to one workshop & could not use a lot of the great resources. A business owner knew a single mother w/ not a lot of money who homeschooled & she was really grateful for the materials.

Back in Ohio I used to sign off on a family who homeschool. They had to have a licensed teacher do it. This family belonged to a strong network of homeschooling families. I was so impressed w/ what they were doing.

Not every district in Alabama paddles. I teach in one that does not paddle. Most of the city systems do not paddle.

Animals. Absolute pack of frigging animals! Where in heck were the teachers? (That's a rhetorical question--teachers almost never help bullied students.) Don't tell me they didn't hear or see this going on. Man would I sue some rear ends off.

That really depends on the local school and the neighborhoods where the students live. Blanket classification never works.

The success of home schooling is also not assured. It is my observation that few parents are qualified to teach all topics.
