My mom got my little brother a book about guns for his birthday once, he brought it to school. He was suspended. For having a BOOK with PICTURES of guns in it. Teacher was some queer. This was circa 2000 IIRC.

And that was a long time ago now! I shudder to imagine schools at present. Whatever semblance of America that remained when I was there is probably by the wayside. I here they segregate kids that AREN'T allergic to peanut butter in the lunchrooms now, if they allow it at all.

I looked up my old elementary school which is now a k-12 (the queer is one of the few teachers still there), they have some subject called "Individual & Societies", WTF is that? Social Studies? "Social studies" itself was already a bastard term that I'm guessing probably wasn't used much in your day, Bendy. Wikipedia says it was coined in the early 20th but I remember my mom saying they never used it when she was in school. And now "Individual & Societies". 🤮 Not to mention nine "Diverse Learner Teachers" (whut? is this a ghost payroll scam?) and sixteen special ed assistants, in my day there was one special ed class, in the basement.

For "English Language Learner Support" they've got one dude, one. Eight "diversity" specialists and one dude to help kids learn English.

“So What’s the Difference Between Now and When I Grew Up?”

Dear Lord, where to begin... How about everything?

I’ll say this: Sane America needs to separate and insulate itself from insane America until the latter finishes killing itself.
