Think of the modern Public school as a smaller version of Hollywood where people lower on the social ladder prostrate their integrity for the cause. Because that’s exactly how it works.
This kid has been convinced by PC teachers/teaching that the lib line is Gospel and any deviance will get him shunned. In fact, think Stockholm Syndrome. He now totally identifies with, and supports, the very people brainwashing him.
Should he ever miraculously have a moment of clarity and express it, he knows he will become an outcast. Therefor he abandons what he believes is right to get along and in fact, be praised by his educational oppressors. It’s the same story history has shown a thousand times and the result is predictable.
Someday this kid will be president.
I'm beginning to get a feel for what a rare critter I was at that age. To me, it was more important to be right--and it still is.
I can't begin to describe the ridicule and criticism I have endured over the years for being right.
It isn't easy, and it's even harder sometimes to not rub people's faces in it when you are proven that way.
But when the day is done, it is worth enduring it, and those who will graciously admit they were wrong can become allies in the future.
