Or tell em I am a Shinto and only worship Amaterasu and it is forbidden to pray in public settings without the right alters and tributes or my god will punish me.....Or you could just start shouting HAIL SATAN! PRAISE BE OH OUR LORD! THE MORNING STAR SATAN!! PRAISE BE THE LIBERATOOORRR!!! And wave your hands around and flail on the ground speaking in tongues like how some Christians do!
I can't stop laughing, i had a friend who did praise the Amaterasu and other Kami xD He didn't mention he could only pray in private settings though, i should've asked him more about his religion while he was still here.

I watched the rant and agree with the points that school trains us to be subservient and obedient. I also would agree that the school system is a filter. I'm just not sure how big the objects need to be to not be able to pass through. On the other hand, I am a bit skeptical of the idea that the system was intended to work this way. I might just be giving the designers too much credit, but most people at least try to make themselves believe they are good by implementing whatever they define as good into their actions. I also don't know how I feel about the idea that the system largely prevents upward mobility. I assume it's harder to pass through the filter if you are of a lower class, but my father came from a place of poverty and has paid off his student loans and is now running his own business.
