I believe the foundation of every persons life is their childhood. And however they are brought up is how that foundation is laid (and built upon.) That doesn’t mean these people can’t change for the better. But just how important it is to ensure that our future learns the importance of hard work, being responsible, being men and women of their word and true Biblical morality and faith. And, this comes through a living example set by parents and family.

Dear Sirs,
The dumbing-down and violence in public education was already here, at least in New Jersey, in the early 1970’s. Pupils, regardless of behavior and demonstrated abilities, or the lack thereof, were forced to be together at all times of the school day. Multiculturalism, and favoritism by the staff toward athletes and/or the physically attractive, exacerbated the already unhealthy environment. Those who could not or would not answer violence with violence, were held in contempt. Yours truly, vividly remembers, that “I’m black, you’re white, I’m better.” and more, would be tacitly approved of, but woe to any who dared oppose the Black ethnocentrism(the number of pupils and staff of Asian or Hispanic ancestry was negligible), or even worse, diverge from the Black-dominated peer group code, especially in clothing. At least, however, most of us were allowed to play outside and go anywhere, so long as we did our homework and were home for dinner. Today, it is rather rare to see children or adults for that matter, outside in the more affluent, and sterile, suburbs of New York. Playing outside with others is essential for a child’s social and physical development. How about more free-range children; how about more free-range people.
