Long live Thomas Sowell.

Whatever happened to shop classes?

Reminds me of the teens in West Side Story!

We force many youth in America to “stay in school” against their will while at the same time hire illegals with less education and the inability to speak our language. Why not hire those that are citizens who have no desire to remain in school and send the illegals back where they came from? Why? Because the illegals will work for less and accept the worst of working conditions as the price to remain here. The employer is the big winner.

“Long live Thomas Sowell. “

Amen. He and Walter Williams tower above anyone in our now demonstrably corrupt and hopefully to be destroyed Democrat party.

The problem today is that, despite whatever the Left may say, the issue isn't "racism," or "inclusion," or "tolerance"...or any of the things they say it is.

The issue is "revolution" (i.e., communism).

I read this book. My solution, which I sent in a letter to the editor of the paper which panned it, was to suggest everyone get a 12 year chit to go to public school. After grade school say grade 6 they could leave but come back anytime of their choosing, as long as they passed and did not disrupt the class. Each teacher could decide what disruption was.

My solution for minimum wages was to exempt those below 18 who could also be paid in cash without taxes on their pay.

Grass cutting would stop being a Hispanic monopoly.

Sounds like a wise guy - in the true sense of the word.

Remember reading the book way back then - don’t remember what it said - glad it stood the test of time, whatever it was......

“The boy who knows that he has learned nothing since the eighth grade but that he must nevertheless sit in boredom, frustration, and embarrassment” until he reaches the legal school-leaving age “must be profoundly disaffected by the experience.” Banfield cited an empirical study which suggested that “much juvenile delinquency originates in the adolescent’s anger at the stupidity and hypocrisy of a system that uses him in this way.”

That's what's known as a hard truth...
