I trying to think of any social problem that solved itself, without being addressed. This problem will NEVER be solved, because NOBODY dares to mention it.
I think reparations might just be a good idea. If somebody hates the US, and blames it, (and the majority population) for their overall misfortune, than give them $1M to leave. If you want back in, the price should be repayment of the reparations, and exemption from any “social” government programs in the future. Everywhere else HAS to be better than here, right?
I’ve traveled, to Europe for vacation, but Asia, and the middle east for business, and have seen first hand how the WORLD treats people. More people NEED to visit Europe, especially eastern Europe. Some people should just skip the middle east.
Comparing time abroad in our military does NOT count. Being a service member, and being a tourist are two very different things, and really are not comparable.
Leave racism out of it.

In reply to Johnny LeBlanc. Johnny are you trolling or just willfully blind? How can you say whites and blacks face the same issues? Did whites suffer salvers, jim crow, and explicit segregation? No. Black people were forced into part time schooling, back of the bus, separate and not equal facilities and more until 1964. It doesn't take a genius to conclude what will happen when two groups are treated differently because of racist laws.

The symbiotic dependency between the drug gangs and the Chicago political structure is a major problem for that city, but it is the deliberate decisions of the D / Uniparty there to end cash bail, not charge or prosecute crimes even when there is video to prove them, and to release those few who are convicted ASAP, on probation, parole, or electronic monitors, to enable them to continue their crime sprees. Those elected are doing what their donors gave paid them to do. Create fear, chaos, and panic, to make the MSM call for a change to a direct totalitarian government that the “donor class” can be in charge of. These are our enemies.

Chicago has been run by crooks (besides the politicians, that is) since the turn of the last century. When the feds finally busted up the Mafia in the 70’s, the power vacuum has been filled by the black and hispanic gangs, and those gangs have most of the aldermen in their pocket.
Those bought and paid for aldermen protect the gangs and, especially the leaders.
That’s why the shootings are out of hand.

In reply to Johnny LeBlanc. Go anywhere in the world, it's kind of awakening to see how much a group is disliked EVERYWHERE. Some people will never see how good they have it here in the USA.

In reply to SAFEupstateFML. Do you know one of those you mention(sexist, nazi, or racist) who has committed any crime related to the label? Why didn't the previous vax mandate cause any trouble with these groups? These groups didn't just appear, they've been here longer than you have. It's like saying Trump is going to bring fascism if elected, even tho he did none of that the first time in office. By the way, it's NOT illegal to be any of those things you list(sexist, nazi, or racist), just not very popular with the masses.

The sad part is that I knew the city after reading the headline.

In reply to Dude.

“Are there any common, recurring themes existing in low performing schools?”

Yes. Government-run, teacher union-controlled.

In reply to Dude. The student must learn what is being taught. Maybe I am giving too much credit to the teachers and the curriculum but reading and math at grade level shouldn’t be difficult unless there is a student brain power deficiency. Are there any common, recurring themes existing in low performing schools?

In reply to fppf. In a few southern States, not nationwide. Certainly not in Chicago.
