#1 The job of American schools, as enforced by the bureaucracy, is not really education. It's censorship.

Same for the MSM. You are not entitled to know if the corrupt politician is (D), only (R). You are not to be informed of the color, race or creed of perps. The Memory Hole(c) is deep and operational. And that doesn't even include 'touching up' photos and editing sound tracks to make the event fit the narrative.

#2 The "job" of State education is to tell you what to think, not how to think.

The "job" of the MSM is to hide the news from you.

#3 I have seen the movie, have not read the graphic novels. The movie is definately adult themed, but as far as the language and subject matter it is tame compared to Catcher in the Rye which IIRC I read for school at about this time (7th grade).

But I also do not know what a Chicago 7th grade level translates to. Pretty sure these 3rd year MMO shooter games city folk are not hinged by the occasional and appropriate bad word. To put it simply, its hunky-dory to want to teach Kindergarteners about homosexual, or any sexual, relations but a 13-14 year old can't handle a comic book?

#4 And if this sad sack doesn't make you feel better, just you wait until nationalized pre-school.
