  • It's a good point, and I'm not suggesting for a second that it's on the schools or the kids themselves to deal with this, more just a sad reflection of how far we still have to go.

    Contrasting it with my experience at a state comp in the 80s -90s back when the progressive liberal agenda was widely accepted, political correctness was still considered to be a vehicle for social justice and all the teachers were card carrying lefties
    You got expelled for saying something racist and ostracised by your peers for holding right wing views.

    think what you like; but don't say it out loud, in case you get caught
