- @emeriticus It really feels like Millennials were the last people who got a largely apolitical high school experience. I don’t remember anything political, just a bubble of blissful ignorance. “Jackass” and Blink-182 were popular. The main concern was asking out your crush.
- @emeriticus Now that I’m a parent I genuinely lament my kids likely won’t have this. You can still find it, but I think you have to look much harder, harder anyway than previous generations of parents who worried about bad math teachers instead of teachers trying to make their kids trans. High school was better when everyone made jokes about race and ethnicity, so what you are saying confirms that I am correct and the old days were better, thank you. A lot of people who got bullied in high school are upset with this post. That’s why you got bullied.
