“It is thought that we enter the public school system for an education. To learn and socialize in order to become well-adjusted, productive members of society. BULLSHIT! 

We’re forced into these indoctrination centers to be manipulated and mindfucked into believing absolute nonsense and are only rewarded when we can regurgitate the accepted answers, jump through the right hoops and clap like a fucking seal for a pat on the head. Only so they can then push us out into the world to maintain the slave-level of blindness that keeps the wicked in high places. They can all rot!”

Especially those who chose to go against the principles of intellectual integrity and the honest forward movement of all mankind.

Her watch reads 9:16pm. Time to get to work. Mariel had a school to burn down.
