    I always thought fascism would kinda creep up on us sneakily, but they’re going straight to the “converting school libraries into detention centers” phase

      Former library spaces at some schools will be converted into rooms where students who misbehave will be relocated to watch lessons virtually, work alone, or in groups with differentiated lessons. Books will remain on shelves and students will still be able to borrow books on a honor code system.

      Straight-up insanity.
