How our elites have sold out Americans

I believe the main reason behind the degradation of the public school system in America lies in the absolutely horrible way in which schools were integrated in the late 1960s and early 1970s.  From one day to the next, huge numbers of poorly educated black kids were bused into schools in white areas where students were generally much better educated. At the same time, better educated white kids where bused into black areas where students were generally poorly educated. 

The poor black kids could rarely keep up with the white kids in the white areas and in order to give them a chance, much of the curriculum was abandoned and the pace of teaching was slowed down, thus lowering the performance overall. 

The white kids sent to black schools were generally well ahead of their black co-students and were poorly served. Thus they also began to fall back to the level of the schools they were forced to attend. 

The result of the above was a general degradation of the public school system. 

Add to that the fact everyone who could think knew something like this would happen, and those parents who could afford it, pulled their kids out of public schools and sent them to private schools. This had the additional effect of removing a good number of interested mothers from interaction with the public school system. These mothers were good at keeping an eye on what was happening in their children's schools. 

A two-tiered system was created in which the upper 2% or so, went to private schools and had a big jump on success in life, whereas the rest of the plebs were stuck in mass baby-sitting systems. 

I graduated in 1971 and we already has a number of black kids in our schools, but most lived in the area. The big push came in the year after I graduated. In my sophomore year of college, an old high-school history teacher of mine asked me to come back and teach his classes for a day.  I did this and was appalled at the drop in the level of students. One class in particular was full of the bums of the school. They has no interest in learning anything. After the day was over I told my teacher how appalled I was and he told me he had asked me to teach the class so I would experience, first hand, what was going on in our schools. 

It was that day that I formulated my belief that the USA was doomed. I knew that the country would split into two main groups, a large group of poorly educated plebs and a small group (I always use 2% for this group due to history) who would be well educated and have the right connections to get on in life.  We were going back to the way things had generally been throughout history, i.e. into a new feudalism. I think I have been pretty well proven correct. We have masses of poorly educated people. Many who are unwilling or unable to hold on to a job. And many in positions for which they are not qualified as we don't have enough well educated people to fill the jobs. This is a vicious circle and the number of poorly educated people increase as we don't have enough qualified people to teach them properly. 

What is galling is that much of this could have been avoided. In 1970-71 the father of a girl I was dating told me how integration should have been done. His idea was that starting in year 1, all across the country every 1st grade should be integrated. In year 2. those from year 1 would move up to second grade and the first grade would again be fulling integrated. This would continue each year and in 12 years every school in the USA would be integrated with a much reduced set of problems for the country. 

Of course, there would have been problems, but I still think his idea was the best I have ever heard for this problem. Of course, it was too logical for the assholes who ran things. 

There is one caveat or rider to the above. I am not sure any country could or can survive the massive number of illegitimate births which take place in the black community and increasingly the nation as a whole. Every generation has its percentage of bastard children. But what has happened in the USA with the breakup of the family is unprecedented. Children who have been left to their own devices without instruction, little and erratic discipline, no structure or guidance i.e. who have been brought up in chaotic circumstances find it very difficult to adjust to a disciplined school setting. I assure you that teachers give up on such children after a while. The American business community does as well. That's one reason they want the import of so many foreign workers. They are better disciplined and work harder.
