The pledge of allegiance, the national anthem, and the myth that the U.S. is a democracy and everyone is equal here.

I sometimes feel like school in general should not be mandatory.

Stop teaching kids that their voices do not matter until they are an adult. #imo

We should teach them to avoid making choices for themselves until they get to a certain age.

Dissecting frogs,

Because when you are 30 and sitting on a desk you aren't going to be dissecting frogs, it'll be charts or data and if you 50 you'll be running for politics by dissecting debates and arguments. Then when you are dead, people will be dissecting you.

The education system kills creativity in students which is need to progress the human race, instead we are taught to work like corporate slaves in hierarchy of austerity.

Take down the world maps with countries all over them. Countries aren't real.

We should stop teaching kids that they have to fit into the box. So many people today feel like they don't measure up to our crazy social standards, and they end up isolated and alone, thinking there is something wrong with them or that they're not good enough. Not smart enough, not pretty enough, not funny enough, not motivated enough, not strong enough, not healthy enough and so on. This is a combination of advertising, psychology and social media trying to paint everyone into this perfect little box of what people should be and/or want. Ads with this perfect family where everyone is smiling all the time, endless photos of vacation trips and cupcakes, "successful" people all having the same haircut, same clothing, same look, and if you look even slightly different from that the best you can ever hope for is being the before picture in an ad for therapy. It's a form of eugenics implemented by brainwashing, teaching people that if they won't or can't fit into this box they should just kill themselves, and a lot do. Even more live lives that are a lie, showing the world this perfect picture they've been conditioned to want, while in reality they're unhappy and unfulfilled. Kids learn from what they experience, not what we tell them, and they will experience a million facebook pages all posting about what a beautiful day it is or how amazing their family is or other nonsense that more often than not is about projecting an image than it has to do with their reality.

Stop teaching them all drugs are bad. The see you lied about pot and go try heroin because they think you lied about that too
