Dude expelling the worst behaved 20-30 kids would be an insane atmosphere change in a lot of schools.

Sure, but that has nothing to do with genes or racism, and the expulsion rate is like 1/60.

Why does the US have so much higher rates of unwanted pregnancies than other rich countries? E.g. 8 times higher teenage birth rate than Switzerland, more than double the rate of France.
Lack of contraceptives? Sex ed? Open communication? Economic inequality? Other?

A fifth of all degrees are business degrees and about 3/4ths of students go to public schools. This isn't about scams. Kids are raised by their parents and the public education system that co-raises them from 5-18 that they should go to college. They're doing what they were told

Yeah man they did market research and found that 14 year olds would buy spy novels from the 50s if the punishers would neuter them to the exact sensibilities of Helen Lovejoy
If you think editing James Bond or Roald Dahl is about anything other than capitalism you're deluded. These companies looked at declining sales and did research and found younger audiences are turned off by certain things, so in order to sell more books they are making edits.
