Good article. Many Americans have independently come to the same conclusion. The government schools once educated; they now indoctrinate.

Obama´s rampage on economic growth is killing the dreams and aspirations of millions of people which is actually more deadly in the long run because it´s creating a form of economic Darwinism.At some point society is going to have to deal with the human and economic costs of people not finding a self sustaining path in life. There´s a lot more ways to kill people than pulling a gun. Killing people on the inside destroys society as whole.

The left will never get off this kick of government spending being a panacea solutions to of all forms of socioeconomic problems.They screwed up Egypt´s economy and now the world bank has to cough up $4 billion because they have no cash flow. Using cigarette taxes as collateral for the loan is ludicrous but they are being driven by western liberal´s policies.

Odd article. Yes, the concentration of children by age group is a modern occurrence...and not necessarily for the better educationally. But it is irrelevant to stopping the next shooting. The real issue is access to treatment for those with serious mental illness, as well as limiting the access to guns for this same very, very small population.

A very interesting read. But why focus only on children? Why not the entire society and all its economic, political, and cultural institutions? America´s current drive to centralize or concentrate all aspects of its society will lead to its ultimate destruction. A decentralized society is more likely to survive. Whether it´s disease or economics, localized errors seldom kill the entire organism. Thus the genius of the republic (a collection of autonomous states collaborating but not centralized) as opposed to the mega democracy.

Yes, this article deserves a more thorough treatment of the issues included. I do agree that the move to centralize always ends up badly.

And yet, millions of Americans got up this morning and sent their kids off to school. Their prayers might have been more fervent, their fingers crossed, but they sent them off nevertheless, and will continue to send them to government schools. Sadly though, the indoctrination at the schools is just as dangerous to life and health as bullets.

Good article! Technology makes home schooling more possible than ever. Give up one income and teach your kids at home with a curriclum you approve of. Public schools are dangerous on many levels. Former teacher.

Our children are herded into schools, which, by law, are then advertised as unprotected, that is, “gun free” zones.

Very good article.
But the last line is extremely naive.

Very stupid article. Anything we´d recognize as civilization (means "living in cities") going back 2,500 years and more, says this guy is an idiot.

Yes, some primitive (and yes, I´m calling them "primitive") tribes of people, around the world, have done these kinds of raids. And y´know what, that´s why they live in the dark and cold and stay primitive.

The "concentration" of stuff is called life, you want to concentrate enough water to have a drink, enough people to have a family and a tribe, enough students that a teacher has a class, then you want to share a library and some play areas, etc. That isn´t a communist conspiracy. Good grief.

Love this article! We need to have community schools, with local teachers who are also parents.

Obozo´s marxist regime is building Micro Apts in NYC, LA & elsewhere.. the plan is to close suburbs & put middle class in 300 sf highrise apts.

Now that they are actually constructing the units... how long before the other elements are executed? Gov´t is rapidly buying up all mrtgs. & calculating Best Use value on each.... to raise taxes beyond what is feasible to pay. Car licensing & taxing will make them unaffordable. Road repair will stop. Hey... I didn´t dream this up! It´s from an Obozo CZar´s dream.
