Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I grew up in the south, so there's a lot of residual resentment against the outcome of the civil war. This has resulted in a bunch of alt-history where some, particularly racist southerners will claim the south actually won, or should have won, or blah blah.
Never knew that was a thing. I can understand the resentment shortly after the war, but this long..wow. I actually thought education was something agreed upon on a national level.
Yeah education is handled nationally, we have a department of education, but my high school was staffed with unqualified teachers who would flagrantly ignore national standards. My school in particular kept getting lawsuits for making students pray during school hours, for instance.
