Politics? I would call the desolation of Detroit a product of flawed economic policy. The problem being American economic policy is planned by finance and industry and not guided by the government as is the case with MITI in Japan.

A recent article presented in a blog by a Detroit father at

http://www.dadi.org/dn_bleak.htm states:

 "In a recent study by the Baltimore-based Annie E. Casey Foundation, comparing statistics for its Kids Count report, the organization reported that Detroit ranks No.1 in unmarried births among the nations 50 largest cities. Of the 16,729 babies born in Detroit in 1997, 13,574 were black, 1,679 were white and 817 were Hispanic. Seventy-one percent were born to unmarried mothers. This

compared with a state average of 33 percent and a 50-city average of 43

percent."

Why Kids Don't Do Well in School

January 22, 2010 by Phyllis Schlafly

 

Let me share with you an interesting article from the Washington Post about the

teacher of an all-black class in a high school in Alexandria, Virginia, who

expressed his frustration at how poorly the students were performing. The class

included both native-born African-Americans and kids who had immigrated from

Africa. In a moment of exasperation, the teacher blurted out this question to the native-born students: "Why don't you guys study like the kids from Africa?" One of them shot back the answer.

 

The kid replied, "It's because they have fathers who kick their butts and make

them study." Another student called out: "Ask the class, just ask how many of us have our fathers living with us."
