    They say “Every child has a right to education.”

    And then behave as if it’s “Every child has a responsibility to be educated.”

    So yeah, while I absolutely think education in itself is vital, I do get peeved when they immediately lie by changing what they do versus what they say.

    By they, I mean outdated education boards of self-absorbed twits who grew up decades earlier and have no real grasp of what today’s generation needs.

      I’ve taught my kids that they are under no obligation to participate in such pointlessly performative acts. I have my brother to thank for that, he defied the pledge when he was in high school. It planted a seed for me.
