homeschooling never wins. even here, somehow.

While I agree that the school was way out of line, I’d like to extend a hearty middle finger for the “schools will use any excuse to prevent kids from learning” line. You hear about incidents like this but don’t hear about places like my school who don’t have ridiculous dress codes that shame kids. For all the places…
