Yes let us drag everyone down in the vain chase for this nebulous ideal of 'equality'.
- shatteredvisage 7y agoThat's exactly the narrative right now. Tonight at 9 -- there's a movement to ban gloves, which exclude everyone except those lucky enough to have 5 fingers, MITTENS ONLY
- intarga 7y agoThere's more to it than that. In my country (the UK), our politicians and all their donors/lobbyists are privately educated, and send their children to private schools. This gives them little incentive to make sure state schools are well funded and run, since that only affects "the poor". This only serves to compound the above situation I was privately educated, and am grateful for the quality of education I received, but I lament that half my compatriots who I share a nation and political system with did not receive the same. My country is broken and divided along these lines, as recent political happenings like Brexit illustrate, and it desperately needs mending. If we need to abolish private schools to achieve that then so be it.
