The list of people whose lives and occupations have been directly affected by blundering, backward, progressive ideas is long and growing, and not really accurately described by terms such as “the deplorables” or “uneducated white working class.” The media is inclined to latch on to convenient catch-phrases, shorthand for people of whom they disapprove, add in political correctness and a goodly supply of empathy to show how caring they are, and you have our current journalism.
I don’t call what happens in colleges and universities ‘education’. At best it is overpriced job training, most of which would be better and more cheaply done through apprenticeships. Liberals ran the education out of the education establishment back in the 1960s.

The idea I’m working my way into is that America’s poor do not suffer from a lack of material wealth; they suffer badly from a lack of spiritual and moral wealth, combined with situations dangerous enough to qualify for the worst slums in South Africa. Imagine how different hings would be if one could introduce into America’s worst communities a culture of traditional morality, rather than a culture of Black Lives Matter?
