Talk radio is always interesting--it can be hard to get a word in edgewise! But the callers can sometimes bring clarity. Certainly that was the case today when one gentleman, a Douglass High School alumnus,??called in to??say that when he was enrolled, in the early 1970s, bad behavior and teen pregnancy were actively stigmatized. Now, he pointed out, bad behavior goes unpunished and schools open up daycare centers next to the cafeteria. It is not incorrect to note that misguided policies share some of the blame for this shift, nor is it incorrect to note that such accommodations have probably incentivized undesirable outcomes.
