High School bans expensive coats to poverty-proof the school

That doesn't even makes sense. Poverty-proofing a school would ensure poverty does not enter the school, not ensure the school has no resentment toward comfortable incomes.

Oh!

It's England. This whole time I thought it was New England.

Well that explains it. England is socialist and socialism is the system defined by resentment. This is perfect for England. Carry on.

Resent away, England. It's who you are, it's what you do.

You prove it everyday.

Are you interested in what they say? How they talk, how they think? Fine. Goes like this:
"These coats cause a lot of inequality between our pupils," headteacher Rebekah Phillips told CNN. 
Coats do not cause inequality you miserable dope. And you, a teacher. Differences in ability, in education, in ambition, in dedication to hard work, using the luck one is given to best advantage, rejecting resentment,  accepting deferred gratification, making wise choices, not dropping out, not having children before marriage, not doing drugs, avoiding alcohol, not marrying an idiot schoolteacher, not living beyond one's means, all tend to cause advancement and increase inequality, but certainly not coats.

Or shoes.

Or wardrobe.

Or expensive scents.

The teacher should know better than this. But she doesn't. Because she is British. And British are socialists.
“They stigmatize students and parents who are less well-off and struggle financially.”  
Phillips also said her plan to “poverty-proof” the school was well received by the students, saying one student wrote to her suggesting school shouldn’t be a place where a student’s “economic background is rubbed in their faces and distracts them from learning."
Typical. The kids see right off their parents achieved different levels of success so the teacher's response is bring everyone down to the poverty level so that offspring of poor people don't feel bad.  Here's a copy of Harrison Bergeron, you dope. No. I take it back. You'll use as how-to guide. Screw you, England, you can't even be spoken to without first dealing with levels of nonsense.

Incidentally, the banned coats are fantastic; Canada Goose and Moncler. For men they can cost over $1,000.00. And they are splendid. They remind me of the military coats for extreme weather with real fox fur around the hood so you can pull the strings and close the hole around your face and the fur forms like a fuzzy donut and acts as a windscreen letting your wet exhalations puff out without icing up. Those coats are solid. These coats less fanatical and more stylish. And the military hard weather gloves are two layers. For work in Alaska and other unGodly cold places. I used to put on my dad's coat and go, "Wow man, this coat is extreme!"

Pennsylvania is cold.

More nonsense at Daily Wire.

So that's that.

I'm a bit cross with England right now. It's been two outrageously insanely stupid things in one night.

Change of subject right here.

Peter Hitchens writes an acrimonious mal-informed presumptuous scree for Daily Mail that is so bad that even the Daily Mail knows better than allow comments.

Those would have been good. The best part omitted (comments) to favor the worst part (Hitchens).

He's ruing the diminishment of the British Empire. He's all Rodney Dangerfield getting no respect up in here except Hitchens is not the slightest bit funny. He in possession of a giant globe straddling ego stuck in pigmy islander's body. He's got a Napoleon complex the size of China packed into a pixie and he bristles that nobody gives a flat f about his shrunken socialist hell hole.

But then this:
Donald Trump’s fanatic supporters are astonishing. Nothing their coarse, menacing, ignorant hero does is ever wrong. But how will they cope with his pitiful failure to pay his respects at an American war cemetery at Belleau Wood, in France, because it was raining?
You don't pay attention very well, do you, Little Person?

His diatribe is incoherent.
How I laugh now when they go on, in the USA, about how they will never give in to Al Qaeda or Islamic State, or whoever it is. Oh, really? Those who now moan over Northern Ireland having a special status in the EU deal have left it a bit late. Since Britain’s forced surrender to Sinn Fein in 1998, arranged to placate Irish votes and political donors in the USA, the province has only been a conditional part of the UK. 
And how exactly does the first sentence relate to the rest, you little prick? I give up even trying to understand his drunken blathering. It's not worth the trouble and aggravation. Have another pint and call it a night, and sweet dreaming about Trump and Americans. He's off the rails with resentment. Because he's British. And Britain is socialist, and socialism did what it does.

"These coats cause a lot of inequality between our pupils," headteacher

What she means is envy, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, along with wrath, greed, pride, and, if you will, lust.

But, since we're all too hip to go in for that God stuff and worship at the feet of Karl Marx and Uncle Saul, she uses a very incorrect simulacrum

And what's this headteacher thing? In an era of 94 genders, the word is headmistress (or headmaster if whomever it is IDs as a guy or something vaguely masculine)

PS Bet Ptah Ho Tep could have said it better.

Kill the coats! But which coats? How about the reverse effect: proper middle class kids being envious of wrong side of the tracks kids wearing satin jackets with dragons on the back. Reverse envy. Of course now all class distinctions have been erased (not really) superficially anyway and the kids who dress most down at the heel are probably highest status.

Mao jackets for everyone!
You get a Mao jacket.
And YOU get a Mao jacket.
And YOU GET A MAO JACKET!
Fungible human units must dress interchangeably.

I was going to comment that this is the government telling parents how they can dress their children but since most parents have opted out of that decision-making process (and so many others related to child rearing) it's kind of a hard point to make.

Amartel said...

They call it the Daily Fail for a reason.
It's kind of like their version of Fox News.
It occasionally airs a conservative viewpoint but it's usually somehow not really conservative. It's "conservative" as progressives view conservatives. Or want to view conservatives. Meaning verging on racist or sexist and/or progressive.

Also there's a lot of barely covered boobs and bottoms in various stages of decrepitude, from newly inflated ("pert") to overfed ("curvy") to sagging ("looks great for 38").

Chip Ahoy said...

I didn't know that about Daily Mail. I'll have to go back and see all those stages of decrepitude.

That's a lot of dough for a Parka. I got all my parkas at army surplus stores and I only got a new one when I got too fat for the current one. I forgot exactly how much i paid for the last one but it was somewhere between 50 and 100. But the thing retains body heat so well I have shoveled snow wearing only a tee shirt underneath, in below zero weather. I would never suspect someone wearing a parka of flaunting their wealth.
