This time, an ageist bigot loses it

Come with me once more to the magical land of Slashdot, where user "c6gunner" reveals these startling facts:

  • There's no difference between students who are legally required to attend school and employees who voluntarily attend a job.
  • "Legality" and "laws" refer to school codes of conduct.
  • The right to vote is unimportant as long as you can still stage protests and sign petitions.
  • Students are actually free to choose any school they want. All the laws saying otherwise must be figments of my imagination.
  • Adults who stay at their current job because they don't see any suitable alternatives are in the same situation as minors who attend their current school because they'll face fines, confinement, or other legal penalties if they refuse.
  • Minors who are required to attend school are "outliers", not part of the "general trend".
