This is crazy, I imagine they're never seen a Sikh boy then? In my part of the world I've seen several faith based schools that made exemptions to hair dress code stuff for Sikh students. The Sikh religion, if I understand correctly, means they don't make any modifications to their body, including hair. What's the difference here? Why make such a big deal of this?
A lot of Podcast creators I wish were independent. I listen to a lot of former How Stuff Works network podcasts, but they were bought up by I Heart Radio and I just hate the constant throwing to random ads. At least they still are able to say whatever they want it seems, as evidenced by Behind The Bastards, but yeah, wonder what going independent would even look like for them
Empty land? My man, they're literally kicking people out of their homes and moving settlers in, there's videos and reports from multiple sources. It's not the vast empty plains of the wild west after the natives died to disease.
Vox did a great report a while back where they talked to a guy who was moved into a house a family was kicked out and his justifications for moving in and the struggles he faces in the neighborhood. The focus though was the family who got kicked out and their efforts to get it back.
I'd link the video but I don't wanna link YouTube and I'm sure you could find these kind of reports if you wanted to.
Leatherman to me is synonymous with “multitool with foldout pliers” as I believe they popularized if not invented the form. I think if you’re into multitools you know the name, up there with Victorinox and Gerber. It’s my preferred form factor for a multitool, I get way more use out of the pliers/wirecutters than pretty much anything on a Swiss army style multitool. Leatherman had an amazing tiny keychain model, the Squirt PS4, that I would recommend for keeping in your pocket but it was recently discontinued, and their other keychain tool, the Micra just isn’t as good imho
So, I knew a girl who went to a Japanese international school in my South East Asian home country where the Japanese did some utterly horrendous things during WWII. She told me the school took them to a war museum kinda place on a field trip and basically shouted at them like “LOOK AT WHAT YOUR PEOPLE DID!” until the whole room of grade school kids were crying about how sorry they were. So at least outside of Japan there seems to be some (perhaps over the top) education about the atrocities committed by the Japanese government to Japanese students, but I agree, most of the Japan educated Japanese people I’ve spoken to are just vaguely aware that they did some bad stuff before they got nuked.
Absolutely. I understand if private schools wanna create an image of discipline through uniforms age dress code, but for a public school to go this far? Crazy
