Melanin doesn’t cause people to act in a certain way.
Culture and upbringing do.
A **major** factor in culture is the schooling found in the culture.
One the major points made in the documentary, “Waiting for Superman”, was that the neighborhood doesn't make the school bad.
—**** It is the **schools” that make the neighborhood bad!!!! ***-—
Mr. B, Here are a few things that come to mind:
1) White families are on the brink, too. That 30% of white births to women under 30 are now illegitimate is horrific. Your point about fathers not being present is spot on! Godless schools are a **major** ( although not the only) factor in this rise in illegitimacy among blacks and whites. Children who attend godless schools MUST learn to think and reason godlessly just to cooperate in the classroom. This makes the far more susceptible to other negative influences in the culture.
2) The families of these women have had ( likely), at minimum, three generations of godless indoctrination in their godless government schools. Before that, the members of these families likely attended government schools that merely nodded to God on occasion. ( What does Christ do with the lukewarm?)
3) The families of these children have likely had ( at minimum) more than a hundred years of socialist-entitlement schooling. What do children risk learning in socialist-entitlement schools? They risk learning that the voting mob can not only give them tuition-free schooling but **lots** of other free stuff, as well.
4) It is pitiful to say this, but ( likely) for these children it would be **better** for them if they **never** attended their government assigned school. These schools are very dangerous. Attending and traveling to and from these schools is not safe. Illiterate and innumerate can be fixed, but bullied to the brink of suicide, dead, scarred, or permanently crippled can't be.
5) We have NO studies proving that government schools teach anything at all. Although, anecdotal, every child that I have know that is academically successful has been **afterschooled** or **homeschooled** by their parents, trusted friends, or tutors, and by the hard work done by the child IN THE HOME! And...and all have been carefully **preschooled**
6) Regarding ( 5): If every government school in this nation were to close tomorrow the same children who are getting an education would get one tomorrow. Those children are not getting an education today would not get one tomorrow.
Solution:
The Gospel of Jesus Christ would bring remarkable changes in the lives of these families in far more ways than just academic achievement.
Conservatives must work to shut down ***permanently** the government owned and run schools that are godless, compulsory, and a socialist entitlement, and ( at their best) offered up a religious pap that was lukewarm and generic.
And....verga...Yeah! I am emotional about this. I cry for these kids. I fear for our nation. Personally, I see government K-12 schooling as one of freedom's **MOST** serious threats.
My husband and I have done all that we can in all of the communities, in which we have lived, to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to our neighbors. We have raised and educated 4 children in the Gospel. Two of these children spent several years working full-time for our church as missionaries. My husband and I are part-time missionaries now in our community. We spent 6 months living in Costa Rica ( at considerable expense), attending language school, so that we could speak Spanish well enough to reach out to the Spanish speaking community in our county. We are permanent members of the Spanish speaking congregation of our denomination in our county. We started a cub scout troop from scratch and 3 of the boys earned their “Arrow of Light” and all but one earned their Webelo badge. Personally, I consider that as “doing something”.
As for what am I going to do **today**? Well..I will bake brownies for the Father's Day fiesta that we will be attending this afternoon. I will ( phone) the Spanish speaking mother of three boys living in the trailer camp and offer to take them to the party. ( Have you ever tried speaking a second language over the phone?) These boys have been members of our cub troop and the oldest is now a **faithfully** attending Boy Scout.
I can't fix the entire culture, but I can warn others about the danger that government schooling poses to our continuing freedom.
