For those on the right who love to talk how liberal cities are s!th)les and/or are dying....

At the end of the day. Conservatives can complain about cities all they want and cities will continue to be the economic engines that drive this country.

Rural schools established the tradition of long summer holidays (back when children did unpaid work on the farm) so pardon me for wanting to "experiment" with that. Summer learning loss is a big factor in US schools overall not being that good. Other than a few rich parents who want to take their kids on foreign vacations, the long summer break is not good for education. It also widens the gap between kids whose parents have pro-schooling attitudes (who may employ tutors over the break, send the kids to summer school, or add some home schooling) and the kids who are disadvantaged by unmotivated parents.

Furthermore, this study finds:



The long summer break has a worse effect on rural students, than on non-rural students. The solution to this is not to assess rural students on their shooting and fishing skills.

While the summer break tradition may be accidental, it serves as purposes. I think that is important for children to get a chance to socialize, engage in pick up games, and maybe go to camp. These are not bad things.

And rural areas will continue to be the agricultural engines that feed this country.

You make it sound like the spread of a disease.

But there is no "glee" in those who talk about the problems with cities, it is discussed with concern.

Moreover, you assume that all the things you've listed are the causes of concern.

Perhaps to those on the truly extreme right, that small minority who are actually racist, fascist, etc.

But we also know about the modern Liberals like you claim to be. Here is one take on that from a former (now deceased) leader of our Black Community:



His only mistake is to say that both parties reflect this, when it is the Democrats these days that most demonstrate what he states. They have perfected the art of controlling Blacks and other minorities by their constant social politics of division and grievance. So in point of fact what he states applies to all minorities in the USA that Democrats seek to use to maintain power.

Libs dont want people to talk about crime in cities because they want to empty all the jails.
