HEY YOU says

You need to ban SNOWFLAKES.

Can't do it. Basic principle of the site is that anyone can say anything, except for the 5 forbidden categories:

personal threats or incitement to violence
personally identifying information (doxing)
child porn
spam
copyright violations upon notice (and i wouldn't even care about that except that the law lets them shut me down)

So snowflakes are welcome too. And you're welcome to put them on ignore.

I often use your moniker as a metaphor for everything that is wrong in our Education system.

Considering you never passed any of the Mathematics courses I teach, I'll take that as a compliment - coming from you. By the way, you would have enjoyed it (maybe not when you were in high school - but now you would) and it has nothing to do with politics.

You are probably 100% correct about that.
I hated school, and learning. I was just bored with structured learning.
By time I was 30 I grew an insatiable appetite to learn, before then I just wanted to make money.
Which I did, I worked exclusively doing high end flooring for decorators and designers Mansions, Highrises, and Yachts from the time I was 18 to about 28.
Then I got my first computer and was curious how everything worked.

Probably all of those times I bumped my head on the custom cabinetry overhead while I was fastening the carpet under the kick space then stand up off my knees only bump my head full force on a door that may have been opened. I drew blood on several occasions doing that.
