So give him enough crack that he can overdose and die.

Tell em "Crack and Strychnine is the latest way to get high."

What in the hell is wrong with you guys...

Crom, too.

Disgusting, and delusional, and worse, all of these comments.

While perhaps not in the best of taste I believe these were somewhat tongue in cheek comments. On the other hand what would you suggest for discipline of a pre-schooler that says fuck you bitch to his teachers? Seriously, what do we do with these kids? They are obviously lost at home.

I certainly did not expect my comment to be taken seriously. But it did provoke a response.

?? Let's take the opposite approach: Does anyone claim that there are NO "racial disparities" ? That is simply preposterous and contradicted by virtually every test of every human trait.
What good can come from deliberately ignoring reality ?
Let's say, for hypothetical example, that a very well-researched sociological study concludes that "The Irish are more inclined to become alcoholics." As a person of Irish heritage, I could either whine and complain about the "bigotry", or I could make a note to myself to be damned careful about not consuming excess alcohol.
Which route is more productive for everyone, including myself ?

The racial disparity in school discipline can be explained by looking at the racial disparity of the ones breaking the rules.
No crime? No fine.

And there's the trick. Pass them along no matter what. Get them into college no matter what. When they inevitably fail at the job or can't advance in a career, scream "RACISM!" and hide the truth. Seek reparations. Teachers Unions and Democrats continue to cash in on this.

A little OT, but Arne Duncan is a militant gay activist and open supporter of NAMBLA. I do not value his opinions concerning children.

Is he one of those assholes claiming that pedophilia should be recognized as a sexual preference?

The product of some schools is abysmal. A 27 year old guy working with me claimed to have graduated from 12th grade. But could not multiply anything from the times-tables. Told him he had to get flash cards and practice.

This all started when he could not compute the pipe rise/fall at ¼" per foot over 40 feet. Then add the 10" from our established height through the front wall.

But he's driving around with a van full of tools.
