Sounds like the 21 Jump Street remake
Same here. I also remember Channing Tatum’s character getting dunked on for driving a muscle car lol
Imo, a movie that accurately depicts the social atmosphere of a modern high school would have bullies from the 90s crying in a corner. High school kids today are fucking brutal with their insults. Also school shootings would have them horrified, because they wouldn’t have seen coverage of Columbine
Didn’t they do it in response to being bullied?
Edit: Nope - they didn’t.
Shooting up a school is all kinds of fucked up, but I’m not sure I’d call it bullying.
When I was in school, kids called things gay as an insult. Nowadays kids call things gay as a compliment.
I have come to regard the “everyone so sensitive today” discourse as literal background chatter because for as long as I can remember people have been saying this. “Ah you could never get away with that today” like yes society does seem to be growing and changing don’t it and the sky is up there yet, and the rock’s still hard.
Things like that change all the time.
Sure you can’t call people a n-word anymore, but at least now black people are allowed to wash their hands in the same wash basin and you can show interracial kisses on TV.
Sure you can’t jail people for being gay anymore, but at least they are allowed to be who they are and even adopt an orphan.
Sure you can’t hit your wife anymore, but at least they now have the right to vote and can start their own bank account without a mans approval.
We are currently more free than before, just not for a particular group of people.
The particular group of people that experience butt-hurt at the improvements are also exactly as free as they ever were. One of the most damaging arguments against freedom is how poorly some choose to use it.
And he makes himself right at home.
I have two nieces who get bullied at school about different things. One so bad that she is switching to online-only for the next school year.
Anti-bullying my fuckin ass. Schools aren’t doing shit other than waving some flags around.
Teachers are trained to ignore the situation, punish both parties or whichever party they think is the problem, and move on. This tends to result in the victim being punished, simply because the victim is more likely to complain about their abuse than the abuser is to admit to it.
Why? Because if you were an underfunded educator being used as a glorified babysitter by the state, and constantly being accused of spreading communist propaganda when you tried to tell people with the Confederate War was bought over, whoever you think the problem is is whoever is speaking the loudest.
Or the teachers agree with the bully because they are racist/sexist/homophobic themselves.
My biggest bully was a teacher in high school who is in charge of the “special education” they made you take if you had to diagnosis the school system felt impacting your learning.
She was an ablest piece of shit who basically reveled in torturing her students.
I still remember going off on her when she tried to force me to read Bob the Builder in front of the class, despite the fact that I was the top of my Honors English class.
( we only had to take the special education class as one of our electives but dear God I hated it)
