It doesn’t take a criminologist to know what happens when you close schools and stop punishing crime, especially juvenile crime. Bored kids from broken families turn to the streets.

Washington was among the last major American cities to emerge from the slump, in the early 2000s. Nearby Baltimore was just on the cusp when violent anti-white riots sent it crashing backward in 2015. D.C.’s black middle and upper classes had fled after the Martin Luther King assassination race riots torched large parts of the city, and few white families remained at all.
Meanwhile, the corrupt, largely Democrat machine that ran the city chugged along. An old social media account gained popularity by tracking the days since a member of the city council was last indicted. And a promising, charismatic, and popular Democrat mayor, Adrian Fenty, was unelected for daring to question why D.C.’s public schools were fine with turning out illiterate and uneducated “students” with few options ahead of them but crime or menial labor.
