Race, class & gender.


Classic divide and conquer.

I am old enough to remember when America was the great melting pot and one of the main job of public schools was to teach a shared history and culture.

That was also in the day when we started with a prayer and discipline was the rule. Get into trouble and you were punished twice, once at school and once at home.

It was a great experiment that failed—some lessons can only be learned the hard way.

I remember the same thing from the 50s & 60s. Sad that it’s all gone now, and for the foreseeable future.
