my high school used to start at 7:30 and I lowkey think that was child abuse
For 4 years I woke up at 6 am, at least (I took the bus and for a year or two it came between 6:40 and 6:50). Morning showerers, or people who put effort into their hair or makeup, probably had to wake up even earlier. Then we all went to school and sat in a health class where our gym teacher told us that teenagers are supposed to get 10 hours of sleep a night. Genuinely implying that we were supposed to go to sleep at 8pm if we cared about our health. The dissonance made my head spin. I haven’t been in high school for years and I’m still mad about it. Maybe even more mad
Half the country was ready to burn the entire country down over a lie meant to demonize a tiny minority, and now the other half is strongly considering jumping in on the bandwagon.
When all of this is over and everyone pretends they were against it the whole time (or tries to pretend they just didn’t know any better), those of us still remaining will have to keep these receipts and make sure anyone that played along with this is never allowed a position of power again.
