That's called "prison"- where one pays the penalty for breaking the law. Educate yourself.

And they were forced to break the law.
The liberal mind is a most wonderful, you know the thing.

R****m in America still exists, but in a much more subtle way than times gone by.
Just like the phrase used in the past to reject anti-Semitic prejudices, "Some of my best friends are Jewish", so too do we try to dismiss our prejudices toward b****s and Hispanics and Asians.
We humans are by nature tribal creatures who cling together based on our social mores and behavior.
We tend to distance ourselves from those members of society who talk, dress and look and behave differently than we do. They don't seem to fit in with our perspectives of normality and are therefore suspect.
Those b****s and Hispanics and Asians who have assimilated into the greater culture of America tend to fare better than those who flaunt their ethnic differences through speech, dress and appearance and who are relegated to live within their limited culture of choice.
I believe that in order to mitigate these cultural, isolationist occurrences within our society, it's vital to teach our children during their formative years that it's OK to be different and diverse and that we should judge others by their actions and intentions and not by appearances. A diverse population in my opinion is a strength and is what made America a great nation and it should be lauded, not rejected.
We are a work in progress that needs to be cultivated and encouraged if we are to remain a great nation.

>>>> it's vital to teach our children during their formative years that it's OK to be different and diverse and that we should judge others by their actions and intentions and not by appearances.

I was taught that in grade school - 60 years ago. I do not know of any school that teaches otherwise.

But was your classroom diverse? Were you raised in a mixed culture habitat so that you could befriend someone who looked different from you? When neighborhoods become more diverse and children are exposed to many varieties of culture, then inborn prejudices and beliefs are altered and diversity is more acceptable.

Anvil

Yes indeed.

MeadowFields

Anvil; then you're not the demographics we need to reach. Most American classrooms, kindergarten to 8th grade, are devoid of ethnic diversity. As in our state of the p******c crisis we need to reach herd immunity in the classroom too.

They are not "forced" to work at all, if they do they are actually paid.

They are not allowed to leave because they were found guilty of a crime, and are now being kept out of society for our protection or as punishment.

By your "logic" isn't Mr. CHAUVIN NOW A S***E, and should be let free. God progressives are dumb.

Who gives a crap what the UN says, we should have left that dumpster fire at least 20 years ago.

Of course it isn’t polling well....they know they are lying.... as usual Dems tried going over the top.... they never have any real answers.... just throw s**t out there to see if it will stick. They are at the end of their playbook.

My kids did grades K-4 in Houston ISD Public School.

They were surrounded by a diverse group of young, disruptive, thugs in training. Many of these kids and their parents placed a low level of importance on education.

We moved out to the fluffy burbs, where the diversity was similar (minus the thug tude) but school effectiveness was far superior over the city schools.

The difference: Dems run the city, Repubs run the burbs.
In the city, little dodo is not interested or supported by family to excel.
In the burbs, little dede is somewhat interested and largely supported by family.

To succeed in America, everyone must, at a minimum, finish high school and possess competent reading, writing, speaking and math sk**l.

Don’t forget decent teachers who want to leave their house !

The large majority of prisoners are guilty of serious crimes or, at the very least, law breaking. They weren’t gathered up off the street and put into s***e labor camps.
You must’ve spent years in prison forced to do more than watch tv.
