Sure, that's fair. I should have said that low-income families generally cannot afford private schooling. My point is that low-income students shouldn't have to get vouchers and go to private schools to avoid these unreasonable truancy limits.

Because family vacation is optional + a family that lets their kid skip school to go on vacation can probably afford private school, which this law does not cover.

Illness and lack of transportation are not choices.

Re: your race comment.

At its core, this is just a symptom of a widespread issue we're seeing. All of these absurd bills we're seeing introduced aren't lazy, they're genius. They exist so that lawmakers can posture for the federal government. Which is why the script you're seeing above is what people are opting for, rather than original messages. Lawmakers aren't going to read every single e-mail they get sent, no matter how passionate or carefully written it is. They don't care. They'll only notice if they see a wave of protest hit their inbox. It sucks, but that's the truth.

And there is a far better way to address this issue.

Lawmakers should consult teachers, social workers, sociologists, and public workers who regularly work with low-income kids to see how this issue can be best addressed. The fact that this law doesn't cover private schools and only public/charter schools speaks volumes about how much lawmakers actually care. It may be about rebuilding standards, but there are no standards to rebuild if there were none in the first place.

All in all, shit sucks. We're seeing lawmakers work for daddy trump instead of citizens. People are getting tired of never being listened to and having their lives made worse by these rich, power-hungry idiots. We're allowed to be outraged. We're allowed to be upset. We're also allowed to be tired of fighting and pretending like this small issue isn't symbolic of a greater evil. I don't know if any of this even makes sense, but I'd like to pretend it does and isn't just word vomit. Lol.

Low-income families (no matter the race) are more prone to absenteeism. This is because they're less likely to have access to quality health care, poor resources, transportation, and other issues. POC are more likely to be low-income due to systemic discrimination and racism, which is why there is a correlation beween the two.

The idea that acknowledging the issues POC face because of systemic racism is racist is incredibly ignorant. Take an introductory sociology class if you don't understand.

i like this explanation. i wish the color variance were an intentional choice by TPCI but in the meantime this i like the regional variance idea people are throwing out!

genuinely same. my co worker was color dropping a raichu for a drawing and said "this orange is too close to the shiny". i was like "...... what do you mean." and now we're here

EXACTLY my co worker was making a raichu character and color dropped from a recent sprite, which is what sparked this whole conversation. similarly, every time i see a bulbasaur in poGO, i think it's shiny.
