It truly seems every political party in this country has lost its way.

This whole campaign of abstinence targeted toward urban areas not only doesnt work, it seems like a hyerbolic effort based on stereotypes and prejudices. Sure, I know the statistics just like everyone else, but let's face it, a billboard directing kids with poor education against sex before marriage is idiotic. Just because you camouflage your wasted message in their so-called "language" with stupidity like "bling" or "my boo" doesn't give you street cred or make you more relatable, it just makes you ignorant. Parental guidance and role models coupled with higher quality education and overall better and safer school environments are the key to ameliorating this teen pregnancy problem America faces. Inner city and poverty stricken areas across racial boundries are facing a problem that will only get worse. Education in this country has become exactly what our Government wanted it to become. It's become a system that not only creates excuses for mediocrity, but encourages it by placing restrictions on punishing pupils for their behavior and their lack of efforts, by failing to hold teachers accountable for their classrooms and their respective schools, placing no blame or responsibility on the parents, and dumbing down kids by leveling the already deteriorating playing field with socialistic programs like No Child Left Behind and Affirmative Action. All people are not created equal. All kids are not smart. All kids don't try really hard to succeed in life. Unfortunately some kids have horrible home lives, some have disabilities, and some just don't get it no matter how hard they try, but there are great teachers all over this country that would love to help mentor our youth. There are kids acorss the country dreaming of becoming a surgeon, a teacher or coach, a scientist or an egineeer. These kids should have a chance at those dreams. Everyone with a brain and some level of patriotism and humanity is for equal rights, equal opportunity, and equal pay for equal work. Educational downfalls and social shortcomings aren't encapsulated in one demographic or another. It's widespread and it's worsening. There has to reach a level of personal responsibility and accountability, but in this country today, the dependency on government and its income smothering social programs and educational system are crippling and asphyxiating our young bright minds and therefore hacking away at our spirits, our drives, and our dreams and aspirations. When bright minded Americans lose the will to achieve because of perpetually dwindling rewards and fiscal punishment for achievement, our country has knelt to the strong arm of government dominance and relinquished our will and individual spirit to the limiting and choking grips of Marxist socialism.
