2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

MODERATORS
Conservatives don't want schools that teach how to think. They want schools that teach kids to obey.
The rules don't really matter, if anything they want the rules to be as stupid and arbitrary as possible, that way they get adult workers willing to take "because I said so" as rationale for fucking anything.
Like how in boot camp they focus on the most inconsequential details. They don't care how exact you can make a bed, theyre just teaching you how to follow orders
It's explicitly said by the superintendent.
Follow up question Mr Superintendent: in what way does prohibiting this particular hairstyle “benefit the whole?”
There is another quote from him saying it's a rule that's been on the books for 30 years. As if that's a good enough reason to keep it rather than actually being a reason to reexamine it's worth in today's society.
Anyone who uses the excuse that "this is how it's been done for x number of years so we're going to keep doing it that way" should be punched in the face repeatedly until their teeth turn to fuckin dust because they should be able to speak anymore.
He named his ego “the whole”
And not understood by any conservatives that constantly whine about selfish bullshit.
This sounds like a toxic Chinese mentality to me.
My kid is always amazed that despite violating the dress code she never gets in trouble. I told her that the rules aren't there to be enforced equally, they're there to give them an excuse to harass students and because she's one of the "good kids" she gets away with it.
Meanwhile I saw kids of any color hauled out of my school for wearing ANY red
Literally every other rule was flaunted daily but if you wore red they'd drag your ass to the admin office to take your shoelaces for the day (saw that one) or wear one of the embarrassing and huge and overused day use shirts (happened to a friend), didn't matter who you were
Just a funny story about my weirdly strict in some ways high school
Uh, Red because Bloods, or what?
Literally
Despite the local gangs using B L U E and P U R P L E as flag colors ffs
Thought it was a dumb question, but I couldn't get my head around it. So Crips are all good at this school?! And who the hell wears purple? I'm old and out of touch.
Both colors were local gangs of almost nobodies. Technically the blue one fed to the Crips somehow but idk I didn't hang out with those guys much
Blue was one of the schools colors so they couldn't ban that, but RED SCARRRRYYYY
I think they've finally lifted that now almost 10 years later
Some crips in California wear them, IIRC. It could be regional, too.
Smaller gangs will sometimes use a colour that's unused in their area, even if it might already be known to represent something else in another place.
My school has so many problems with that that they banned any non-black shoelaces and also implemented an expensive uniform that was ugly.
"There are in-groups the law must protect but not bind, and outgroups the law must bind and not protect". This is the core of conservative thought.
Trust me, as someone who was military, they care about how exact you are when making the bed. It's not just about following orders, it's how well you follow them and your attention to detail.
Oddly, my military experience also focused on how to break rules, and how to know which ones to break. That and the knowledge that there was a waiver for everything.
I mean, have you seen how they design schools these days? I've seen jails that looked less secure, and more comfy. They're conditioning the kids knowing that 1/4 will end up in jail or on probation at some point in their lives. They don't see them as children, they see them as potential "criminals" to wring every dollar they can out of.
Looks like the superintendent is all about following the rules to a T - that is unless it's his kid - in which case he'll gladly obstruct an investigation a likely DUI.
