Huberman’s plan as an effort to identify the most “vulnerable” students and “saturate[] them with adult attention.

The problem with these kids is that they ALREADY had a lot of adult attention during their lives. They had parents who did not teach them the word “no” and saturated them with attention.

Same thing with family, friends, and other people through their lives. They never learned not to be anti-social.

You see this over and over again in schools across the country…. small towns as well as cities. They want to coddle the kids who are violent and disruptive at the expense of those children who want to go to school and act decently. It is not limited to high school, but occurs in grade school and particularly in middle school. No one is suspended anymore… we have police stationed at all schools and bullying is no longer a simple matter, but a matter of extreme threats and violence with no accountability.

Until we address the real problem, which is where these kids are coming from and what their parents are teaching them or NOT teaching them, it will never be solved. Building community centers, setting up mentoring programs and special recreation will do nothing as long as these kids have to go home to parents who don’t care about society.

[...] Honour student killed in Chicago before Olympics vote: Come along to Altgeld Gardens in Chicago, where Obama was a community organiser. See what a difference he made. This is what a community organiser can do for you. This is also where honour student Derrion Albert was beaten to death a couple of weeks ago. Afterwards, US Attorney General Eric Holder flew to the city: Altgeld Gardens resident Tommie McCoy said Holder and Duncan should have visited Fenger [the school in question] and Altgeld Gardens, not just met with Mayor Richard M. Daley and other local officials in downtown Chicago. [...]

The bit about children not laughing the way children should is stolen from the opening pages of James Baldwin’s great short story, “Sonny’s Blues.” Typically.

This is not a surprise to thinking people. Mr. Obama is a rank amateur and has no record of accomplishment. That is why we are not permitted any access to his personal history. He is, however, a committed Marxist, anti-Christian, anti-semite, and anti-American bent on the destruction of American society. He does not vett his appointees because he does not need to: he “won” the election and the news media protect his decisions and actions at all costs. He is halfway to his beloved Marxist Nirvana and he need not pay the least attention to his critics except to attack and suppress them. What a laugh that the White House has the gall to criticize and mock FOX as biased given that all other news outlets are firmly in the Leftist camp.

These personal failures in Chicago (and anything else he has put his hand to) are indicative of his dangerous incompetence. He is grossly unqualified to lead anything, much less our nation.
Left to himself he would be ineffective, unfortunately he has an assembled cadre of hard-core Marxists able and actively in the process of breaking America apart.

I will say that he is a brilliant salesman with a huge Chiclet smile and great charisma. But remember, Lenin, Mao, and Jim Jones had the same drawing power.
