My notion might bear research, but is seems that private school children have better parents who actually are involved in the children's education and social upbringing. Such children are less likely to become sociopathic. Also, church associate schools have the facility to provide a moral compass to their younger students. The public schools, regardless of the local cultural milieu they operate in a forbidden to make any moral judgments.To paraphrase Dostoevsky, if there are no ultimate consequences, everything is permitted.
Doc Block, interesting that I am getting around to reading this today. Not surprisingly, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Calls for "gun control" strike me as control-freakism masquerading as concern for one's fellow man. (OTOH, my son and I argue about gun control pretty much weekly. He is of the leftist, woke persuasion!) Anyway, I offer a piece of mine, written way back in 2009, that addresses gun control from a racial perspective: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2009/10/wilton-alston/gun-control-is-it-racist/.
It was completely avoidable. Somebody knew something. Ditto Parkland, Sandy Hook, Columbine, the Strawberry Festival, the Charlotte AME Church massacre, Ft. Lauderdale Airport, Buffalo Supermarket, Tree of Life Synagogue,Colorado Theatre, Gabby Gifford, Cincinnati shooting…In each case, people were notified in advance. The warnings were deliberately ignored. Initially, I told myself to put aside such thoughts. I was cruel, if not crazy. But there were too many commonalities. The shooters were all white males. All very obviously disturbed, all had a “ look” that could be attributed to “ White Supremacy” and of course “ racist, antisemitic and “ alt-right”. The gun control tent-a-mob was Johnny-On-The-Spot. Well organized, rehearsed, signage and props magically , professionally printed… It is an agenda.To eradicate the Second Amendment. To further strip away our rights and empower oppressive government.
It is a pattern and no longer veiled. Our cars, stoves, appliances, food, First Amendment, expectation of privacy, judiciary, attorney/client privilege, houses of worship… unless a mosque, , weaponized justice system, open borders, lockdowns, forced experimental vaccines, masks, street mobs, mob violence, false flags, celebrating terrorists condemning victims, rabid antisemitism calling for genocide, wealth/property/land confiscation, color wars, hatred of white men, Christians, Hindus. Asians, heterosexuals… every norm.Nuclear family, motherhood, segregation, whitewashing or erasing history, destruction of jobs, education,86,000 new IRS agents-armed, renewal of FISA… And never is there any attention given to racially motivated shooters or massacres committed by black , trans or Islamist, or illegal immigrant perpetrators. Mass surveillance, marginalization of ordinary, hardworking citizens, wealth, property, asset , gun confiscation, seizure of federal land, farms…. It’s all tied together, part of a much bigger and extremely dark agenda.
If ten years ago anybody suggested such conspiratorial “lunacy”, I’d have either laughed or been appalled. Now it’s absurd to deny.
Dear Wilt: Thanks for your kind words. We're on the same page here, as we are on many, many issues. Best regards, Walter

Love the recasting of the Dostoevsky quote. Kudos!
Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov is packed full of insights.

If Every Israeli was Armed the October 7th Massacre would have not happened
