This discussion has evolved into one of those we can safely agree to disagree on various points.
The truth is that it is too complex of an issue for anyone to fully understand. If enough of us did, all the ills if the world would have been solved already.
There is no one truth, problem, or solution. Our personal experiences are no more than anecdotal instances that support a particular view.
We should all weigh our words carefully before commenting. What was true to my experience is not true to someone else's. Wether intended or not it does come across as insulting.
I come from a dirt poor Mexican family. My parents did not exceed an elementary education. They knew they wanted better for their children. All but one of my siblings are successful professionals.
I am also a highly decorated high school teacher. I have taught in the inner city as well as in the suburbs. Among other things, I also hold in degree in ethnic studies. My wife is a very successful doctor.
My entire existence has very firm footing in many worlds. I know the issue to be too complex for anyone to be able to digest and articulate wholly.
I invite you all to politely agree or disagree without demeaning anyone's existence.
