My daughter got bullied by other kids for being a furry because she likes leather chokers and they were saying she was wearing a dog collar.
Considering how much school administrations support bullies (while claiming to be anti-bullying), I’m glad we weren’t in Oklahoma.
We had to take her out of school due to all of the bullying anyway, but that would have made it even worse.
My boyfriend used to wrap his collar twice around his wrist and wear it as a bracelet. I’ve taken to it myself and it seems like a great way to let your freak flag fly while not pushing social boundaries too hard.
Also, iirc didn’t you disagree with me about students having the option to opt out a schooling several months ago?
We didn’t opt out of schooling. The online school is a state program paid for with taxes like any other state school. No tuition is charged.
I’d like to clarify, I never made an argument for private schools (I don’t think). I just made an argument against trapping students in mandatory public schools. I agree online state school is a massive step forwards but also giving that option recognizes that trapping kids where they don’t want to be isn’t a good thing. Even if it exposes them to something adults think is important, like a social environment of their peers.
