Schools are just going to keep doing it because if they stopped then they’d have to admit that it was harmful all along.

The education establishment refuses to ever look at itself in the mirror.

It's wild to me that some public high schools still hold beauty pageants.

I remember in 1992 arguing with a teacher who claimed my high school didn’t hold any exclusive events.

“What about Miss Heritage?” I asked. “Isn’t a beauty pageant exclusive?”

No, he said, because anyone can participate. It’s a scholarship competition.
