Yep! Parents can pay to have their child kidnapped and tortured. Fuckers like Dr Phil even broadcast kids getting shipped off to rape camp to audience applause.
The US refused to sign the UN convention on the rights of the child. There’s really an understanding that parents own their children. You can deny schooling (my brother was “homeschooled” for years - he played video games and jerked off while my mom nodded on benzos -and my attempts to get intervention were laughed off), you can deny medical care (how many dead JW kids from the blood transfusion bullshit?), do anything short of causing obvious bodily harm.
Child liberation is a necessary civil rights movement.
That’s why Oklahoma does emergency certifieds! Any bachelor degree gets you in a classroom. You can fail your tests for up to three years, and then usually they’ll extend that deadline anyway! So you get people who can’t get hired to do anything else, and realize that they can just get away with sitting at a desk/ignoring everything they’re supposed to do.
Actual teachers walked out half a decade ago because it’s 60+ hr/week of being a social worker/punching bags. (Fun fact: teachers are exempt from overtime!)
