So, is school a jail or an opportunity? (The schools of course lose MONEY when students don’t attend. )
In America today, preborn babies can receive the death penalty, and indeed, a million a year so perish. This girl’s mother, whatever her other defects, was at least gracious enough to allow her to live, thereby automatically commuting her death sentence for the crime of having been conceived to diurnal incarceration for 180 days during each of 12 successive years in a penal institution called “school.” Any regime that kills a million of its people a year or fails to protect its people from the same fate at the hands of one another constitutes a tyranny by definition.
In this twisted, tyrannical, anti-life regime, Diane Tran is not a girl trying to take advantage of an educational opportunity given her while doing her best to fulfill as a surrogate the critical role of parenting her sister. Instead, she represents a fugitive from repression who deserves subjugation.
