[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Today's history lessons cover more than the atrocities of the past.  The prevailing curriculum now also includes a framework to influence and direct current political ideology to attempt to attach responsibility for the past to people living today.

I guess some people think this will lay the groundwork for the concept of reparations for slavery to become more mainstream and palatable.   I personally think the current concept of equity as the goal instead of equality is incredibly destructive and divisive[b].   I don't want to dismantle the best system we have for individuals to pull themselves and future generations of their families into more prosperity and a better life.[/b] [/quote]

Statistically, the best indicator of the wealth you will have as an adult is the wealth that you are born into. David Copperfield is a myth, the vast majority of people born to parents living in public housing are not entering the middle class let alone the upper middle class. Likewise, the vast majority of upper middle class families will not have kids who end up living in public housing [/quote]

That's a destructive and untrue belief.   Moving yourself or your family up can absolutely be done with frugality and work ethic.  Look at story after story of immigrants who came to the states with nothing and became successful.  My husband's and my own families each escaped generational poverty in our parents' generation to give us a wonderful middle class life. We are now striving to do the same or better for our child.  This can be a multi-generational process but it can be done.  We are not statistical anomalies. [/quote]
