You don't tell kids "There's no hope." You don't tell kids "You're fucked."

Those are about the WORST things you can say to a child.

If the OP is having momentary doubts, as a Democrat, that's entirely understandable. We all do.

If the OP needs support, they should say so. Otherwise, they should shut the fuck up. And they should DEFINITELY NOT be bringing this into their classroom, especially if they are working with those who don't have much hope to begin with.
