I mentioned this stuff about a month ago..cited the same studies.....

This is another "war" we're not going to win. The slide can be traced to Brown Vs. Board of Education and school integration...don't jump up all outraged just look at the stats.
The black family breakdown, fully nurtured, funded , and kept robust by the US Government is the reponsible party.

That broken and meretricious black culture got bussed into nice white neighborhoods and just like any baseless, irresponsible hoodlum began to rot the decorum of the entire school system..we're now experimenting with Chicanos to see if we can bake the cake down to cinders.

Home school or if you can afford it get your kid into a private school. Black and hispanic culture isn't going to get any better anytime in the next 50-100 years, five generations is what most sociologists peg the rate of change at...that's 100 years.

Part of the imperative is Freudian. The white girls gravitate to the strongest flashiest males who happen to be the black footballers and net guys. They've been setting the clothing and cultural trends in the school systems heavily now for about 20 years, perhaps 30. The usually eschew academics since they're all going for the pros. The girls follow the strength and the brightly tailed peacock display we call bling.

The only way you will save your kid is to get then out of that environment....yeah yeah SOME do make it..but very very few.

Segregation was better, just like homogeneity beats muticulturalism...which I posted the new Harvard study about this week in ten diffferent spots and got zero comments about.

But it's all good , right? Yeah.

Harvard study.

THE DOWNSIDE OF DIVERSITY

A Harvard political scientist finds that diversity hurts civic life. What happens when a liberal scholar unearths an inconvenient truth?
By Michael Jonas | August 5, 2007

IT HAS BECOME increasingly popular to speak of racial and ethnic diversity as a civic strength. From multicultural festivals to pronouncements from political leaders, the message is the same: our differences make us stronger.

But a massive new study, based on detailed interviews of nearly 30,000 people across America, has concluded just the opposite. Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam -- famous for "Bowling Alone," his 2000 book on declining civic engagement -- has found that the greater the diversity in a community, the fewer people vote and the less they volunteer, the less they give to charity and work on community projects. In the most diverse communities, neighbors trust one another about half as much as they do in the most homogenous settings. The study, the largest ever on civic engagement in America, found that virtually all measures of civic health are lower in more diverse settings

"The extent of the effect is shocking," says Scott Page, a University of Michigan political scientist.

Well, was I behind the curve on the publication of this study or what? It appears to have been published in October 2006

No wonder no one reponded. I'm probably the last guy to have "discovered" this new study.

True to the "A" type side of me I kept on pushing ...how boorish ..gotta work on using what should be a strength but sometimes is a weakness into a full time strength
