  • Around 12 years old or so. I’ve been hearing something similar to this my whole life. I didn’t understand how true it was until I started recruiting in 2009.

    Not that it started with Bush, but after ‘No Child Left Behind’ act schools were incentivized so pass all students. They tied school funding to graduation rates and passing students. Teachers taught more just to the test and not comprehending the material.

    I’m sure it’s gotten worse COVID.









  • I made an argument with one of my co-workers that I think that police unions should have to pay all legal bills and payouts for cops getting sued for violating rights. He responded “That’s a quick way to get rid of all police unions,” I had to stop and think if that would be a problem or not.

    My point was the police unions are the only ones that can hold their members accountable. If they forced their members to act better instead of being thugs then things might change. If Police unions don’t hold themselves accountable then no one will.
