Deus Ex Humana

brotastic: Someone explain to me...

chloecaroline:

Why it’s cool to be indifferent or even against social equality? I don’t get why or how people can actually laugh and pout about not going to school because we are learning about many social issues and groups.

Worst part: people are such weenies that when you are personally affected by social…

Because it’s all fucking bullshit. Yes, I’ll admit, South is not one of the worst offenders when it comes to social equity, but they are still an offender, if only because they are part of the system. ’The system’ here referring to the educational/bureaucratic system of the United States, of course.

Think about it like this: We went on a march that day- marching typically being a hallmark of counterculture protests- that was put on by the system, i.e. the ‘culture’. The fact that South Eugene High School (emphasis on ‘school’) put on a pseudorevolutionary march is the fact that I am so opposed to. It was the Culture making a mockery of the Counter-culture.

You can’t ‘organize’ or ‘teach’ respect. You have to act it, and hope that others can join you in that act. The educational system of the United States does not act on social equity, they just claim to act as such, and attempt to teach it by holding days like the ‘Day of Respect’ wherein everyone gets together and acts like they care about each other for once.

It’s total bullshit, it didn’t have a real point (we were marching for Respect? Wtf does that mean?) and it was put on by some of the worst offenders of social respect- the school system.

THAT SAID, I did march, I didn’t really complain at the time, and the workshops were pretty cool, all in all. It was more the organizers and their blatant hypocrisy that got to me.
