Children must be taught to comply, to conform, to regiment, and to be held the standard of the “average,” or else, risk butting heads with gate-keeping, authoritarian government mercenaries!
Sara: Someone should start a fundraiser for her to attend private school. She deserves a scholarship.

Jason R.: However, it’s a sad how many people agree with the wrong things. It’s time to let people just be!
