This child will not find it much better in College.
Well said!
To quote Dr. Joseph P. Farrell, “our educational system is fraudulent,” top to bottom, inside and out.
That’s what you do when you valedictorian and become awake.

Though I agree with her, something curious happens: I feel quite uncomfortable listening to this. You can hear murmuring in the background. The whole time I’m waiting for someone to say something ugly and disappointing. Though the audience claps, there have to be member of the audience who are upset with her. Such is the depth of our social conditioning, that to call out the falsity of two pillars humanity holds so dear (education, our children’s future) feels like sacrilege.
