False premise. I don't blame anyone other than maybe liberal progressives who have encouraged government dependency. But generally, life is about choices.

It took me a while to learn it, but there is nothing more true than that line: life is about choices. Bad choices lead to bad situations.
We tend to want to treat the symptoms, throwing money at schools, etc., while we continue to have policies that encourage poor lifestyle choices, so the problems themselves only get worse. Our nation has a cancer and we treat it with aspirins and band-aids, not wanting to truly discuss how we can fix this mess. I feel for the little kids who are left with no chances in life because their parents make terrible choices.

Who was responsible for the huge gulf in educational attainment between blacks and whites in 1870? 1890? 1910? 1930? 1950? 1970? 1990? 2010?
At what point did "liberal progressives" shoulder the blame for this? Gimme a year.
