I don’t know Kashawn, and maybe with a lot of hard work and training he could attend an accredited college and make something of himself. I hope that happens. But the fact is many of the kids are being cheated by the same people who think they’re helping them. Success in life is based on conservatism. There might be a few leeches who get by on the efforts of others, but in the long run things of quality are made by people who work hard and don’t make excuses. It’s not necessarily succeeding every time but not giving up after one fails.
As a speechwriter for GWB, Michael Gerson coined the phrase "the soft bigotry of low expectations." Your observation is exactly what that phrase means. The do-gooders are destroying these kids by never letting them hear the words "that's not good enough".
