The problem is we're asking kids to do assignments that a fucking AI can do in their sleep.

Tennessee Has Banned Drag Performances In Public, And Other States Are Considering Similar Bans. A step along the road to Fascism - dehumanizing the LGBTQ+
Community and directing anger and derision at them is a prelude to violence - and it's already happening. Goebbels would be proud.
