I still have the naivety to attempt discussing what kind of system (and realistically reachable from today's world) might actually lift as many blacks and white trailer trash out of their ghettos (in whatever form) and back into the workforce... Simple. Take the infants and put them with parents who subscribe to a culture that values education and work. Then even govt schools won't damage them enought to crush them.
