Letter to the Editor
WICS Channel20 News has a story out of Champaign captioned: “City offers STEM activities to curb youth gun violence.” Isn’t that wonderful?
At the same time, the same WICS ran a story about the two nitwits shown below, arrested for shooting up the parking lot of Dick’s Sporting Goods at White Oaks Mall [in Springfield].
The City of Champaign’s Community and Engagement Department would have us believe that “some of the main factors” causing thugs to run around shooting up communities is the “lack of hope and accessibility to technology.”
I didn’t know that. I’m shocked that Midnight Basketball wasn’t the solution.

It seems I’ve also been operating under the faulty assumption that STEM activities are what schools are for. Wrong again.
Now I learn that schools are there to foster racial grievances, promote sexual deviancy, and teach the little bastards that everyone is “wonderful just the way they are.” Where else can a kid learn these valuable skills?
“STEM activities to curb youth gun violence” will give leftist do-gooders and white suburban bedwetters a big warm fuzzy while diverting money away from more policing and the prisons’ need to keep these bums locked up. We already have plenty of what doesn’t work, and more of it is simply stupid. The notion that these thugs are shooting up the mall parking lot for want of a science, technology, engineering, or math project to work on, is lunacy.
Activities that will reduce unwed mothers and single-parent homes, and that emphasize being educated rather than “Being Black” might yield better results.
