I'm not sure which. Charity demands I assume a miserable failure. The cynic in me has a hard time believing that.

And here we are. We have arrived at that goal of the Marxists who have co-opted our educational system. True education is about finding the truth of things, and if the truth is pursued to the very end, it always ends up at God.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226269873507053740.post-56871127573083580882023-03-24T20:22:47.723-04:002023-03-24T20:22:47.723-04:00Anonymous was me, David D.Anonymous was me, David D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226269873507053740.post-12207837893449261262023-03-24T20:22:12.234-04:002023-03-24T20:22:12.234-04:00I believe Watts in south central L.A. has been eth...I believe Watts in south central L.A. has been ethically cleansed.

I know plenty myself who resent the culture that seems to encourage black Americans down on the expectations meter. Also, you bring up the viewpoint of Latinos. I've heard that the biggest part of interracial violence in our country is betwixt Latinos and African Americans. I wonder if that is true, and how that might play into various attitudes (or possibly be the result of).

This should be preached every day.] In addition, the latinos I know [quite a number - I am married into the demo] have a very low opinion of the character of our black demographic. They will NOT like forking over their hard earned money to support lazy misbehaving blacks.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05652227699197953483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226269873507053740.post-91158650454456557982023-03-24T09:08:44.502-04:002023-03-24T09:08:44.502-04:00Ages ago in my ministry days, I gave a talk at a l...Ages ago in my ministry days, I gave a talk at a local gathering about the state of our education. I had, once many years earlier, taught in high school. I said that we seemed to have lost sight of what education is for. Too often (at that point, c.2003) we saw school as something to do, get a diploma and then get a job from. With the then-new education reform of the Bush era, and the real possibility of just 'teaching to the test', that could be a toxic brew, where we don't even care about the diploma, just getting kids through with the scores needed on the tests. The actual educational content and purpose being long left behind in the dust. That was around 2003. The only thing I missed was that the void in educational content would be filled with the indoctrination of crazy we're seeing today.

It's just too convenient to send your kids somewhere you don't have to pay much for so you can continue to work. So, there's another compromise for worldly success. What they got taught was secondary to the good of kids being occupied so people could continue their double income lifestyles.

Even the Catholic schools bought into it. The Land O' Lakes Conference affirmed the compromise, abortion became a necessary evil for girls to continue their education, and education for the purpose of worldly success even superseded forming hearths and homes. People of faith should have LONG ago pulled their kids out of public schools and insisted their schools of faith be more than public schools with crosses/crucifixes. <br />Currently it seems the less intelligent people are uneducated enough to accept the narratives being spoon fed them without much thought, but the overeducated are educated enough to know they have to accept and affirm the narratives as a necessary compromise to maintain worldly success. I'm not sure which is worse. Bernadettenoreply@blogger.com
