Yes! Themselves, first and foremost. No one can respect another person until they know what self respect is.

That's too much grooming. Some kids are going to enjoy that, adults are going think it's cute, but other kids don't like that sort of attention and prefer to dress more casually. That was the treatment Alan Turing got in grade school. He served as a computer scientist and codebreaker in WWII, punished as a homosexual, and suicided in the mental health system for all his troubles as a war hero to the Allies.

Kids are cute, got nice clothes and stuff, but I don't believe in business suits or neckties.

I think it did go viral, three years ago when I first saw that article.

Good manners can open doors for these youngsters in later life they may miss out on if they do not learn it now. Great story!

Oh, but won't they be labeled as Uncle Tom, coons or "being too white"?

Good manners are fine, but the white girls still have to stop calling the cops on the black boys.

So do the black girls.

You still don't get it. It is about building self-esteem and respectfulness.

This I think is badly needed and may really make a long term improvement in all of these boys lives. Very Impressive.

Or sanity.

Should black girls stop calling cops on menacing black boys too or do white girls hold an exclusive in that?

Of course not. Just take a look at this forum. I have tried many times to start positive threads here and none of them got any traction. But spew some irrational hatred or utterly absurd claims based on race? Then you’re guaranteed a couple hundred pages of responses. Same thing on the education forum. Even the sports forum isn’t immune.

Boy Scouts of America is notorious for child sex trafficking and sexual abuse.

Everyone wants to hear bad news. Somehow bad became exciting and good became boring. That's who we are.

Is it worth another try?
