Why are the schools so awful and failing to educate our children? It's by design according to noted conservative Bill Whittle. We've attempted to insulate our children from their greatest teacher, failure. And the results have been predictable, complete and utter failure. Unfortunately for humanity, there's no other way to build self-esteem and learn. It's just the way we're wired. Same thing with our cities. For nearly a century they have become petty dishes of liberal experimentation. And the result is universal failure. How long before we wake up?
