And yes, do a little research on the NIH website. They’ve been publishing studies for decades about the importance of structure in kids lives (e.g. single parent vs two parent households). But youre not here with an open mind so I won’t bother.

You remind me of a teenage high schooler who simply disagrees just to disagree. Who probably thinks that women are naturally as physically strong as men. If you can’t understand the difference between structure and free will then just stop trying to disagree

Hence is why I said “doesn’t have to be religious.” Structure imposed by religion is can be good and vice versa. It depends on what kind of structure is being imposed. And Just because you disagree with it doesn’t mean your opinion is right or wrong.

You live in a country that has laws, eating habits, education, work, sleeping habits, etc are all forms structure. Just b/c you don’t think you need it, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. Some people need more others don’t. There are plenty of different forms of structure, some good some bad.

All humans thrive under structure. Doesn’t have to be religious. But we are biologically driven by structure. There can be too much structure. But just like in all aspects of life too much of anything is generally no good. All societies will always have bad actors, including religious societies.

It’s no different in DC. That’s why the DC Police Chief gladly accepted assistance from the NG. Denying there’s not a high crime problem in cities is idiotic. Don’t be that naive. Accepting that there is 10 to 20 shootings per week in cities is not what we want to portray to the world.

Having low areas zones in cities is common. It happens everywhere. Example, Baltimore is safe as long as you stay in the inner harbor. KC is safe as long as you stay north of Ward and west of Main. But outside those areas is no bueno. You’d be an idiot to walk outside those areas.

The brain develops throughout time. Each stage of development has a period where chemicals are released to provide new functions. For instance, when baby’s start teething. It’s a chemical reaction. If you suppressed that chemical reaction then you stop that reaction.

Like I said the department of education is a federal jobs program. It provides funding. The funding is supposed to advance education for all and promotes standards like the Common Core State Standards. It also oversees accountability measures under laws like the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).

Success is stagnant & has been since the dep. of ed was created. I am 100% for gutting the dep. of ed. & replacing it w/ an anti-lobbiest firewall. Focused strictly on a curriculum that prepares kids to be a contributor to society. Math, Science, Engineering, Finance, History.

The problem isn't in the special programs. The problem is a lack of results. There are 4 public highschools here where I live. They are all outdated and underfunded and have been for decades. Testing scores for literacy at all time lows in these schools. No one held accountable.

Its not up to the fed to make up for a states lack of education. This is why school choice is very popular. its not right that some kids get to go to private school while others are stuck at poorly rated public schools. People will see what works and they will replicate it.

What you should understand is that Our government was deigned to operate at a snails pace by our founding fathers. This correlates to government spending being anti-innovation.

What you should be asking everyone is, "why is there only 8% increase in enrollment with a 138% increase in non-teacher positions? What are these non-teacher positions doing to improve education? and Why have we had stagnant test scores since the inception of the Department of Ed?"

Statistically it has not improved education to the extent worth spending $238 billion on it. In its current form its a jobs program lobbied by the Teachers union. Our reps don't sign off on it cuz of education. They sign off on it because it brings government jobs to their district.

The issue is no one has the stomach to do anything about these issues due to their connections/funding w/ big pharma. Its the same issue with some republicans and the NRA. And 90% of these politicians are self absorbed narcissists lol. It's contagious when you get to the public sector.

It's not logical to simply say in moderns times to not trust someone because their skin color. It's below the elementary level thought process.

I like how he points out the greed within the FDA and CDC. He advocates to remove the chemical additives in our food supply and while removing financial conflicts of interest from our health agencies that have resulted in these carcinogenic ingredients being added to our foods.

I like his stance on big pharma's lack of accountability when it comes to the lack of vaccine testing standards and the inaccurate published results.

No, I do not agree w/ everything RFK has said or done. I do not like his politics. I do not like "certain" statements & actions he's taken against vaccines. However, I am open minded enough to see the good he could do because he can't be bought like those before him

You simply think I am ok with everything he's done b/c I support certain views he has. Which is the perfect illustration of how intolerant people get during in an era of exaggerated political rhetoric. It's purely emotional. You simply just repeat talking points from others w/o questioning it.

The cockroaches aren’t just on the liberal side. Both sides have an infestation of greed and fraud. The only problem is that democrats are trying to stop the extermination of greedy cockroaches leaching laundering our tax dollars into their donors pocket via the money laundering scheme at USAID.

Well it won’t be trillions for long once it gets gutted. And I do accept his history of addiction. The guy is a smart man. He’s been caught up in some pretty bad things with the anti-vax and drugs. But he has valid points and can gut the system of its greed.

America is a constitutional republic with ties to democracy. Where you are responsible for your self. Socialism is the easiest way to an economic collapse.

You can’t just tax the rich either cuz you risk taxing small businesses. You can’t tax unrealized gains cuz that cause an economic collapse of our economy.

I agree w/ gun reform laws that don’t include red flag laws w/ the priority to remove all unlawfully obtained firearms that litter the inner cities. And you can’t have government funding healthcare in the US. It’s economic suicide due to population fluctuations. It’ll be social security on steroids

Not necessarily, the USAID money laundering scheme will expose the corrupt politicians. Both Dems and republicans will be exposed. Shut down the department of Ed that has a 138% increase in non teaching staff to the 8% enrollment increase. Wonder why college is expensive?

You understand the magnitude of carcinogenic ingredients that are in our foods. The same ingredients that are banned in almost every 1st world country right? This senator and many like him receive donations and kickbacks from the big pharma and big food corporations. Sit down

Says the senator who is bought by big pharma and the FDA. Who continues to ignore the carcinogenic ingredients in our foods that are banned in Canada and other European countries.
