As someone who suffered through the Pharma system from an early age for the crime of not wanting to sit in a seat 8 hours a day being told to hate his race, and only has medical bills and 50 different incurable chronic ailments to show for it, I firmly think that the public education system should be completely abolished and psychiatrists should be rounded up and redacted with a redacted on live television and then redacted into a redacted, after which what remains of their mortal frames should be donated to a legitimate medical school for dissection.

In a world where freedom, creativity, and innocence are deemed subversive, of course "childhood" would be declared an illness that needs medical intervention.
Another reason to homeschool. Making kids sit at a desk for 6 hours and try to be still is damn near child abuse. They have way too much energy. Then even though they have been at school for 6 or 7 hours, the teachers still can't get everything done so they assign homework. Now kids are doing school 40 hours a week or more. I'm pretty sure it's just a coincidence and not training them to be wage slaves.

Just to offer another perspective here - I had an older brother who was recommended ADHD meds by his teachers due to his inability to focus and him exhibiting erratic behavior in class. We didn't listen. He died last year in a snow bank, homeless, after never holding down a single job for more than three months. He was in his early thirties.
Sometimes a broken clock is right. Our formlessness is a rebellion against the false dichotomy of the political left and right. It's a strength, and we need to stay vigilant to ensure we don't fall into more.
People who actually have (especially severe) ADHD are helped by the pills believe it or not. ADHD is just over diagnosed as all hell because school teachers do a lot of it and doctors don’t question them. We can all agree that it’s totally normal for a 10 year old boy to not be able to sit still behind a desk for 7 hours a day without moving, but teachers and the pharmaceutical industry don’t know that.
when i was in school it was kind of a known secret that you could get high off the speed doctors give you for adhd. so it was sought after in the experimental crowd
Parents that believe a medical diagnosis from a teacher and trust the prescription of a psychiatrist should be castrated in order prevent this insanity from going on into the future. May the great idiot culling begin!
