[quote=zk][quote=flu]Less competition for my kid from them…Someone needs to continue to be at the bottom of the bell curve…

There’s something I can work with.[/quote]

Well seriously, let’s put this in perspective…

Which do you think is better.

Hand out a feel good, sob story to a kid and tell him that it’s not his/her fault that he is failing, that’s is (insert you favorite minority group to blame), and tell him/her that XYZ government official will fix all their problems without lifting a finger.

or…

Telling the kid, hey, the world ain’t fair. What are you going to do, cry about it, and give up? Man/woman up, or go home.

I was pissed off before about this, but as AN pointed out to me, it really doesn’t affect my family or me. Because we’re busy finding ways around everything. Trump, the US, or the US government can’t stop the rest of the world, the rest of the world’s economy and opportunities. If folks in this country want to brainwash their kids into self-limiting their opportunity, well it’s their choice. I feel sorry for their kids, but again… not my problem.
