The Haitians have proven time and again that they are incapable of self rule, with the only effective government they have ever had being the US Marine Corps, far too briefly.
In short, the best thing that could be done for them is to set up a highly disciplined boarding school that would only enroll thousands of very young children, and raise them to become a future government. Basically to create an elite, ruling class from scratch, without any exposure to their countrymen until they graduated.
But unlike elsewhere in the Caribbean, central and South America, these children would be programmed to *not* remain an elite, but to evolve the rest of their nation’s citizens up to their standards. Their success would be in how well they could do this. Most teachers would have to be foreigners.
So the first task of this new government would be to just maintain order, as they created an enviable public school system throughout Haiti, where all children would be under strict discipline. No exceptions. Unswerving egalitarianism, patriotism, and teamwork.
The hardest part would be to keep adults away from these children until they could be raised right.
The plan to do all of this would likely last 30 years. But hopefully, once it was done, Haiti would be forever free of its curse.
Sounds like a workable plan. I’m not sure just what type of adults you would have from children who never had parents to hold and hug them when they are afraid of the noises in the night.
To 37 - Intriguing idea. How would you keep adults (parents, relatives) separate from the children? Would the children have any exposure to the world outside the institution they are in? And the big question, unless the children were forced to enroll in this against their, or their parents’ will, (which defeats the entire purpose), how would you populate the classrooms?
