This place looks like a prison

It’s crazy that adults’ response to antisocial violence is to make the buildings where children are warehoused 9 hours a day even more ominous. Why not add guard towers and razor wire? Easier than admitting the American system has failed miserably https://t.co/YYfyHrTxpS

Jim Kunstler and others have been talking about the horrors of the modern built environment for years.

That is depressing. The long term effects on kids can’t be good.

As we mentioned elsewhere, it’s only public schools that get this. The architecture and the methods are both brutalist. Hate bounces, as Zed used to say.

We have the ‘jail for kids’ category for a reason. And I entitled this post that, too! 🙂

If we made it legal for kids to kill their bullies, a lot of problems would go away.
Any kid who did that would be crucified. Bullies are a protected class of kid in gubbimint skoolz and are part of the indoctrination system and process (if they weren’t, they wouldn’t exist, because the system would spare no effort of expense to purge them out of the school system, like they’ve done with prayer and non,-regime-sanctioned religion).
Bullies in publik skoolz serve the same purpose that “thieves” (i.e., common criminals) served in the gulags of the Stalinist Soviet Union: a tool to terrorize and torture the zeks (political prisoners) as punishment and keep the repression going. (Read Solzhenitsyn “The Gulag Archipelago” for more detail).

Yep.
Bullies, in the public school system, also provide a model for what progs do on social media to everyone else: bully them into conformity, and dox anyone who opposes them, getting them fired if possible.

School always felt like prison to me…
