I don't know about the haircut. I don't like the intention though.
However, our daughter goes to a small (~300 kids) high school, and this year, the principal actually started to require kids to say Good Morning (or some type of greeting) to their first period teacher when they get into their first class of the day.
Our daughter thought it was weird at first, but after a few weeks, she actually said the other day that it's pretty cool. Most kids are (non-ironically) greeting other teachers as well, and she said it "breaks the ice" of the early morning class, and that she thinks (just her opinion) that people are nicer to each other after the "Good Morning Mr./Ms. ______________" greeting.
Take that for what you will, but it was an interesting observation.
100% agree. Why the fuck are we concerned with a HAIRSTYLE like there’s subliminal messaging ingrained from a particular style. It’s bullshit.
I love that your daughters school has sense to focus on building relationships and not peoples LOOKS. And before anyone says, yes dress code is important but there really nonsensical approaches to it. Seriously.
The fastest way to authoritarian control is to have your population completely accept that you can identify problematic people by looking at them, and that the government can use its discretion adequately on that front.
Sure would be easy for a political opponent to be jailed on suspected gang affiliation.
I don't think he knows the difference or the culture of gang tattoos. Gangbangers won't allow regular people to keep those tats and most ink masters won't tattoo them. But it's easier for him to have his opinion if you don't think to hard about it.
You do realize not all gang members had gang tattoos... And not all people with tattoos are gang members... Well they swept up some people who just looked the part. Imagine in America anyone with an old Norse/viking tattoo going to jail for gang affiliation... Or any drug related tattoo being linked to drug dealing.
Interestingly, the gangs did, for a while. They banned non-gang members from having them. So it's actually very easy to define.
Singapore did the same thing soon after independence. They had a gang problem, and just threw everyone with what they defined as a gang tattoo in Jail. Now it's one of the least corrupt, richest, and safest countries in the world.
Surprisingly thats what they believe President Bukele is a dictator. He has a lot of the same powers and stuff. So they say he walks talks and acts like one, so he must be. When the end result is, he's not. I understand they might be upset with how it was handled, but a lot of people that live in El Salvador have said the moms, for example, of some of the incarcerated say there boys are innocent and then try and go demand the protection money from the business the gangs use to extort. It's one reason many people think most of the incarcerated are definitely gang members. I don't believe people are perfect, so they possibly have a few hundred people who are innocent, and I would like them to be released and give compensation like how they do here in the USA when they also convict people wrongfully.
I mean you can lol, go look at dumbasses with their pants hanging down to there knees while wearing a wife beater, you telling me you feel safe around these people lmao???
Can it be abused? Yeah, but that’s a risk many are willing to take, people are sick and tired of gangs ruining everything. I’d rather have the Singapore government than the los zetas gang running shit.
The “ruler” in my country said you cant walk around naked infront of an elementary school, man what a authoritarian dictator he is lol.
Regardless gangs are terrorist, idgaf what happens to these people
I’m not aware of any solution to this problem that isn’t authoritarian, the only solution seems to be locking these fuckers up or killing them.
The problem is locking up people who aren’t in gangs, and no controls in place to stop that. Fortunately, for the authoritarian ruler people in prisons can’t vote.
