The Santa Fe shooter had both the hammer and sickle and a swastika on his jacket on social media. Guess which one the media chose to focus on?

The dead kids, probably.

You're seriously obsessed with this culture war **** my dude.

That's pretty rich coming from you.

Rich? He live in Texas then :cool:.

The Hammer and Sickle?

Fire up the panzers! We’re moving to Oregon.

Would it be better if everyone was home schooled?

No.

Is that the only alternative to mandatory attendance for every child that you can come up with?

I think you’re speaking within the framework of a very particular state of affairs. I don’t think there’s anyway you think these things, as I imagine they can be, should be illegal. I hear you that these things are unfortunately largely the domain of the deranged right and basically amount to child abuse.

FWIW I’d like to keep a common vision that “school” should be profoundly and radically reorganized in a way that maximizes freedom and capitalizes on how children learn naturally in a cooperative way.

We need to take the prison component out of school. I really think we agree on that and probably always have.
