of course, they dehumanize and degrade these kids further by referring to their names as merely “nicknames” they have to be approved to use, making sure you know that they’re in control and stripping as much dignity as they can from the kids and parents in the process. as always, the cruelty is the point.
why the hell should any school have control over someone’s name? fuck them.
it’s fascism.
it’s fascism.
Yes it is. It's sad and scary to be able to say that about one of the two viable parties without being hyperbolic or rhetorical.
Thanks for sharing that. The introductory paragraphs are so gripping I found myself unable to do anything but read to the end.
I'm a bit confused. Of course, if the parents are not supportive then them needing to approve the "nickname" is a problem, but if the parent is supportive, isn't this good for parents becuase it give them more control over the school. If the parent approves of the nickname, the school has to recognize it and refer to the child by th name.
I agree it's taking control away from the kids, but is it not giving full control to the parents?
It's building a literal database of all "non-conforming" children.
Also, parents should not have full control over what their children want to be called.
Yeah, children are still people, they can pick their own names
Why should a parent have full control over what nickname their kid uses? Any parent who tries to excersize that level of total control over their kid is gonna wind up disowned when their kid hits 18 lol
If that sounds normal to you, you might have had some seriously overbearing parents, hate to break it to you lol
