If the school and police and PARENTS had cracked down on St. Skittles, he wouldn’t be six feet under and we wouldn’t have to glorify unarmed black thugs on a daily basis. He was truant. He had women’s jewlry, a screw driver and traces of marijuana in his backpack at school but the cops didn’t so much as slap his wrist. The only punishment the school doles out to problem students is the exact “get out of school free card” they wanted in the first place. I used to think throwing the parents in jail for their kids skipping was a dumb idea. Now, not so much. If it takes the parent handcuffing themselves to their child and sitting in class with them every day, then so be it. But no, that’s child abuse! Not to mention 99.9% of the parents were too lazy to get up and take their kid to school before this became the problem that it is. It’s those same lazy parents who can’t be bothered to teach their children not to steal and rough up people like Michael Brown did. It’s those lazy parents who can’t be bothered to beat their kid’s butts in front of the school principal and cops - oooh, but then the cops will arrest the parents. It’s a lose, lose all the way around.
It’s going to reach a point where all but a few public schools are nothing more than holding pens containing violence, because parents that care (including the hypocritical leftist ones) are going to eschew public education for the sake of their children’s education and safety. We (the taxpayers) will just be paying yet more Danegeld at that point, like we do now in other aspects, to keep the thug element separate from us. Notice that we still have segregation, only now it’s based on ability to pay to stay in safe, secure environments. And the government is doing everything it can to shrink the middle class, so that only its chosen winners (on the left) can implement that segregation in their lives—after they spent decades enforcing “integration” on the rest of us.
What about the kids who are forced by the government to sit in the same classroom with these truants? Would you want that for your child? I don’t.
