I find that indescribably sad.

Until Black America jettisons that culture, it is going to be an uphill, and probably unattainable fight to succeed.

Think about how great this country could be if we could harness the power of many of those black Americans, who instead of contributing to the wealth of this country, are instead drawing on the nearly half a billion dollars in welfare this country is taking from taxpayers each year and giving to non-productive citizens.

What a shame.

It is sad——and they lost a damned good teacher.

Check your math. Half a billion in welfare would be less than $100 each.

It isn't just Kenya. Other African countires like Ghana offer the traditional education experience as well. A former black co-worker of mine sent his son to a Catholic boarding school in Ghana. He said Protestants have their versions as well.

This was roughly 15 years ago. He told me that annual tuition, board and room was roughly U.S. $800 at that time. Air fare was, of course, additional. Even then, we are talking around $2500 per student per year.

Your average per pupil expenditure at our very crappy public schools are roughly three times that, if not more and doesn't include room and board. For the difference in product which you get, we would be way better off financially closing down crappy districts like East Baltimore and sending the kids en masse to various countries in Africa offering these programs.

And at the end of those four years, you would get well-rounded kids with a good, classical education rather than your next generation of street thugs.
