      My 5yo started asking a lot of questions about war all of a sudden. The Ukraine war had just started so I figured a bunch of kids saw it on the news with their parents. Turns out these dumb fucks were watching Squid Games with them, so they started playing out executions during recess… Between that and the little boy who was lighting girls’ hair on fire because “girls should cover their head”, she didn’t stay too long in this school.

        Damn.

        My 6yo mentioned the war in Ukraine out of the blue the other day, we found out he’s been watching the evening news with his grandpa though.

        His buddies at school are Minecraft and Spider-Man obsessed. He’s all about Lego Star Wars so it’s going ok all things considered. Still a bit more violent than the early preschool days.

        Lighting girls hair on fire? Are you in the UK or Canada?

          France. Lots of projects around my neighborhood, so public school is mostly Muslim kids, as the white families put their kids in private schools.

            France makes sense sadly. Seems like a lot of extreme ideas are being supported there.
