    It’s not universal by any means, there are school districts that are chill, but there are also lots that are absolute shitheads.

    That’s the issue with the fragmented authoritarianism that comes with American style federalism. Combined with how schools are run pseudo-democratically with a sizable and energized fascist voter base and even your cool, chill school districts can suddenly become extremely reactionary! Fun!
