I'm not an extremist on this.

I don't feel that 'public' is the only way or "private' is the only way.

I regret how one demographic is in inner city plantation schools -- and going on to prisons, sub-living wage jobs, and suffering the way the White Liberals want for them. "Fund education"! The Sunday Brunch crowd shouts---and is content to wait for generations.

Speaking for myself - back when I cared I never ever wanted public education defunded - but then again I'm not an extremist.

I just felt - bring together the major players - parents, teachers, pop culture, clergy---- and has things out. Maybe ask---why kids from poorer countries. in shittier buildings -- kick our asses academically for starter and maaaaaaaybe -- the corrupt contractors who build palaces lose some business. Maybe unions lose a bit of money. But American kids - move forward.

Now I don't give a shit.....

If more Americans prosper I'm happy.

If more of them need prisons, pay the higher interest rates---well, there's a reason I retired at 45.

All is well -- I'd rather just enjoy the status quo and laugh now ---not even try to even think about how to improve it.

Besides, keep them dumber- it'll be easier to put them in pseudo camps down the road when the jobs are gone (for them).
