Our education system is designed to teach students to respect the position and not the person. Without that training most teachers, military officers and corporate executives would be laughed at instead of followed. Teaching kids to do what their told by whoever is telling them no matter what they are being told to do or how competent the teller is the primary lesson learned in most schools.
IMHO schools should teach kids how to accurately observe the actual situation and then make their own decision on what action to take.
We already imprison more people than any other nation. And prisoners tend to have high rates of recidivism. It's been like this for a long time.
71% recidivism rate for violent offenders. Sounds like we are letting prisoners out too soon.
