The fact that college degrees are required for jobs that hey we’re all completely distorts hiring and the entire education system. College can’t possibly be anything other than a means to an end as long as that’s the case. No one’s going to go into tens of thousands of dollars of debt they can’t discharge and bankruptcy to learn how to think

- Comment on How come in American classrooms they make another language an elective. Why not teach our kids as many languages possible that way if we go somewhere we will kind of have uper hand? 4 days ago:
Back in the renaissance ancient Greek and Latin were needed to study ancient texts, so knowing them was needed for university. These requirements lasted into the 20th century so high schools taught it for college track students. These days they’ll take any language. The methods of teaching and the structural contours of this shape how language learning is thought of to this day

That last part is how I got involved. I don’t have my own kids, but I knew a kid that felt more comfortable talking to me about that stuff than to his parents.
doing this is probably an effective safety feature for any community to have. if you’re afraid your parents will freak out and ban you from electronics forever you won’t go to them for help. and not all parents are good parents.

The thing that none of these moral panic people want you to talk about is who is deciding what is and isn’t acceptable for everyone’s children. They’ve already admitted the intent to use this to censor everything LGBT so that’s not a slippery slope that’s just factual reality
