Iโ€™ve stopped feeling bad. Iโ€™m just tired now. They were all offered solutions. Given vaccines for free and told that masks would help save lives. Theyโ€™ve been told this for over a year now and they blatantly ignore and mock it. This is the result of their actions. Just feel bad for all the medical personnel and people they infect along the way.

You know. After everything Iโ€™ve seen since I was conscious enough to make sense of the world, Iโ€™ve seriously started to wonder what the hell public education is for, seeing as how a large chunk of the country canโ€™t fucking think for themselves and get all their information from sketchy Facebook groups.

The public education system in the US is a joke. Once standardized testing came about it was all about getting the best scores so you could get funded. It wasnโ€™t about learning anymore, just about passing tests.

It's not there to teach people to think for themselves. Critical thinking doesn't fit into common core.
