So the college educated class culture is superior for raising children?! Wow! Bombshell!
So parents (two is superior to one) work hard in their youth, and delay gratification until they graduate from college.
Then they work hard to create opportunities for their loved ones.
Then they insisted that their children's schools, teachers, and curriculum actually function.
Then they force their children to live in the superior culture. Work hard. Delay gratification. Make opportunities. Insist on functionality. Pass on the superior culture to the grand kids. How did they keep something so simple secret so long?
That part is even easier to accomplish.
First, vote democratic on all levels.
Second, allow these governments from the Department of Education, to state and local school boards implement policies and hire administrators to prioritize political power first, protect incompetent teachers second, and worry about the children last.
Third, do not let the good parents succeed. Don't allow vouchers and real school choice measures. And publicly downgrade the superior culture as elite, gentrified, too white, and hopelessly old fashioned. Support all political, educational, and culturally popular efforts to glorify inferior cultures as diverse, modern, popular, and egalitarian!
Lastly, don't try to help those on the bottom rung up; just kick some of the top rungers down. Example:
So don't help her broaden her horizons. Don't explain what the offerings are. Take the dumb arsed high school educated be-itch to Taco Bell!

The best part is.......he cites that "come from the top quarter of income" line as if it's surprising that smart successful people have smart successful children. As if the only factors that drive such a thing are material. Yeah.........nope.

When will people finally figure out that working hard versus hanging out on the street corner drinking a 40 and smoking Newports will get you into a higher social class.
