Schools are exactly like jails, where most of the inmates are just doing their time, and some of the inmates suck up to the warden and guards in order to get power.

I like your idea of offering a deflection that appeals across the usual lines, something the inmates and guards will both embrace.

As for helping the marginalized kids, some of them are dangerous, and marginalized for that reason. My son was "stabbed" (with a pencil) while on the bus - no action taken. The kids will tell you who the next shooter is going to be. Dysfunctional homes. Schools can't fix it.

I agree, it wont likely actually do anything for any marginalized kid. Mine come home speculating about who "the next shooter" is going to be and there are too many chronic serious problem children in the school. Thats really neither here nor there.

Kids cant vote, their hysterical liberal parents do though. Televised children marches get the blissninnies worked up to ban guns. Friendship campaigns lull hoplophobic voters back to their dreams of unicorns and rainbows (kum ba ya).
