Social Degeneration

The divide in the quality of education in middle class schools vs. Schools with disadvantaged population is huge. This author chooses to ignore the complexities of the issue in order to ring the racist bell. Yes, I know he is black. Blacks can also be racists. I've worked with inner city kids- you can't strive towards a future you can't see.

They can suspend or expell by the image or mention of guns, so I don't think that is the problem. Stop coddling criminals, first offence try to re-educate, second hard time without tv, radio, computers, etc. And if a third time happens, life long chain gang work crew. The incentive/disincentives need to be clear on why school/jobs beats jail/prison.

I am for the school culling option. It's pretty obvious to teachers which students WANT to learn and which ones don't. Students who want to learn should be encouraged and time shouldn't be wasted on those who don't.

That's rich. Given his body of work, I do not think he has ignored anything. He is probably as prolific as Issac Asimov was.

He ignores much in this article. I have read him and often agree with him which increases my disappointment with the race baiting he engages in here. Mobs of young black men are not coming for your women and TV. Philadelphia has long struggled with racial violence. It can be addressed that way without trying to pull Denver into it.

For Whom the Bell Tolls
Elites have tried to solve our social degeneration with politically correct bunkum.




The orgies of violent attacks on strangers in the streets — in both England and the United States — are not necessarily just passing episodes. They should be wake-up calls, warning of the continuing degeneration of Western society.

As British doctor and author Theodore Dalrymple said, long before these riots broke out, “The good are afraid of the bad, and the bad are afraid of nothing.”

“The good are afraid of the bad, and the bad are afraid of nothing.”


We can see that in our own House of Representatives....unfortunately.

I hate to point this out as it bursts your balloon of gloom, but crime rates are actually down in the US. Why do people always look and hope for disaster instead of being grateful?
