And kids need to follow the rules. That's the way the world works.
You need to start carrying your papers, citizen! The rules are you will produce them whenever you are asked! And what is this about not wanting to get your new chip implanted? You know the rules! You will do as we say.
Having the kids sit in preassinged seats at lunch is a long way from a Nazi putsch taking over the USA.
It's a very minor thing, and quite reasonable.
That's it, try to extrapolate rules for schoolchildren into something society wide.
That's not blowing things out of proportion or being dramatic or anything like that.
