Great essay! Your writing reminds me so much of Thomas Sowell. It appears you are also a big fan as well. It's sad to read about the unravelling of America as you have adequately described it. I believe it all started with unrestricted, and recently unlimited, mass immigration from third world countries whose populations never had any intentions of assimilation.

Now, with the mass migration of Muslim populations (who have zero intentions of assimilating) we have reached a point of no return without violent conflict. The Islamists have made their imperialists notions of internal conquest quite clear. They did not invade, like the EU, we invited them. So, with the declining civil structure of the remaining Americans and the combination of the new Islamic imperialists, the outlook is dismal for my grandchildren.

Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. My parents and Thomas Sowell have been the biggest influences on me.

And you're 100% correct. Things will need to get pretty ugly to reverse course.

Exactly. They make their intentions clear and the people don’t believe them.

Part II shows what happens when expectations disappear.

Part I explains how we got there.

What I’ve seen in classrooms would shock nice white liberals in the suburbs. And it’s just normal. Thank heaven we try to address it at the school where I am and administrators totally have my back but this is not at all the case in the regular district. Long live charters !
