If you read the study you will see that NONE of the children had serious precursors to brain damage, like fetal alcohol syndrome or prenatal damage of any sort.
It was a screening criteria for both the wealthy and poor alike.
The key really seems to be stimulation and the level of input in the early years.
Rich kids are just given WAY more stimulation with greater variety.
Poor kids are more likely to lack in all areas of stimulation.
It's not hard to see.
It's also easy to fix...
Now, do we, as a society, care to bother?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 551387Of course the article did not say they had serious precursors to brain damage. The liberals will never say that. However it only takes a small amount of reasoning to understand that when these brain damaged children grow up (whether it is caused by toxic environments, low stimulation, etc..) and have more children, their children are predisposed to inheriting a gene that renders them incapable of attaining higher intellectual capacity. Yes a lot of these problems are cultural, but it is not politically correct to state this. Whether it be from the drug culture of inner city youths having children or backwoods whites which intermarry. Mention this and you are immediately chastised for being racist and arrogant. We need to focus more on prenatal care and early parenting skills. Also birth control is a huge issue that needs to be addressed. It is not the fault of the children born of these circumstances, however they perpetuate the cycle. It is not that easy to fix, as you say.
