This might be my favorite meme of the month. There is a problem though. How often do they actually talk to people to end up in this quandary?

I kid. All the love to my vegan arch users. Or arch using vegans. Whichever one you prefer.

Language changes over time and words don’t mean the same thing forever. The entire purpose of language is to communicate. So if you have a Mac and say you are a PC user, you are failing to use language well. Apple themselves helped facilitate that change. It can be less consistent with Linux on a PC, I agree. But language is an evolving meme (as per the original definition of meme, not the cat photos). And to not acknowledge that is like being a young earth creationist with language.

Do you also argue that anyone who is happy is part of the LGBT community?

I think properly funded schools with properly paid special needs instructors would leave far fewer students behind than allowing homeschooling.

Good special needs instruction includes teaching non neurotypical people like you and me coping mechanisms for situations like social interaction. Allowing homeschooling creates one more situation where people who are typically not trained or prepared are suddenly the sole source of education for a child. And schools are an important safety net for abused children. Homeschooling is abused far more than it is helpful. And in any case that it is helpful that is only due to a failure that should be remedied elsewhere.

At least that is currently my view and living somewhere that homeschooling is illegal but the schools are better funded has certainly not changed my mind. Evidence to the contrary would though.

Or perhaps the answer is to offer more methods for 18 year olds to be able to leave a toxic environment rather than having to try to balance work and school as a child. Homeschooling should be illegal. And put children’s protective services should be strengthened. None of your argument actually makes child labor the answer. In reality, what will happen more often than kids pulling themselves up by their bootstraps is parents like yours will put them to work for a trump loving christian place that reports back to the parents. The parents will be handed the money, and the child will be even more trapped due to poor education and more of an abusive system around them. Because jobs that will put 14 year olds to work will not have quality ownership.
