A student was kicked out of school for making fun of the administration in a PowerPoint presentation. I saw the presentation and it was offensive. Did the punishment fit the crime? Something for me to ponder.
The ROTC people "hit" the students. It really disgusts me. It's more of a distracting slap on the wrist for girls and a punch to the chest for guys. For the life of me I can't understand how they get away with it except maybe that no one important knows about it. Most likely they get away with it because it's the poorer students who end up in ROTC. Maybe education is going back to the good old days. When were they?
Of course everyone would deny that poorer students are more likely to be in regular classes and ROTC. No one studies such things and certainly no one discusses them! Equality is the rhetoric; inequality is the practice.
But look at me, I'm taking my regular class to a performance by the Air Force drill team. Personally I'm curious to see it myself. I'll give them a little message beforehand about propaganda and such. We'll see how it goes.
Another day in the history books. But no one reads books anymore so it's of no consequence.
