Concern troll is concerned.

I’m really worried about the “technical” or “job training” programs. Within three years we’re going to see stories about unpaid internships for unskilled minimum wage work so kids with no other options can get their diplomas. It’ll be creating another source of forced unpaid minority labor, using the diploma as…

Straight cis man thinks, “girl wants to be a boy, eh, boys are cool.” We’re all just dudes here, it’s cool, no homo.
