#school system

a) to resist you must be educated. in a world that hates you you have to have so so so much knowledge to back every single claim you have. school also puts you in an enviornment where you have to coexist with people you wildly disagree with. you learn how to get away with disruption, how to fight back in an enviornment where the stakes aren't brutally high. you learn to connect, analyse, resist. it also forces you to get into the swing of reading which is really convenient.

Bullshit That My Sister Witnessed At School

because I don’t go to public school, but man this shit makes me want to set it on fire for her

First entry:

There’s a “no politics” rule in her school, where no classroom is supposed to talk explicitly about their political leanings or political opinions.

she just told me that the day after Charlie Kirk died, her science teacher gave a five minute talk on how an “influential man” who has “done mutant important thinfs for the world” died, “tragically leaving behind his wife and kids.”

I have never said that children shouldn't be educated. I'm not even against the concept of school honestly. The problem is that the school system (at least in America, I know there are other countries with problems in their school systems but I'm not as well-versed in what they are) is that it's exploitative, is more focused on test-taking than actually learning, and is more of a military system where youre taught to blindly obey and believe everything that comes from authority. There are also many problems that tie in with racism, ableism, misogyny...
