I agree with all that has been said. However, if each household had parents that support a valued education, much of what we strive to do as members of the Pan Hell would not be needed. To that end, as educated persons we must continue to bridge the gap for those that have not had our opportunities.
Also, what I continue to find interesting as a male (and I know we have discussed this to some extent), educated women seemingly are drawn more to men with the thug mentality than the educated accomplished male. My point being if we are going to tell kids they need to value education and dismiss the images seen on BET and other shows women must also lead by example by supporting men with education and some degree of success. I'm not asking the ladies to go after ever nerd in the country but to make it the right thing to do by uplifting brothers that are progressive and intelligent.
