The time has long passed for those in the educational industrial complex to stop pleading for more money so they can throw it away in failing and corrupt systems. Mayors and governors need to run the rats off the ship and start providing efficient school systems and high-quality teachers who succeed in educating and graduating students who will move on to productive and prosperous lives. Until this happens, young men will continue to take the path that leads to shooting each other in the street and bleeding to death in our trauma bays.
