Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

In the 2002 context? No Child Left Behind was being implemented, which was essentially a foot in the door for privatizating every aspect of education so long as the students could pass standardized test scores. This implemented the conditions of today where public education funds are funneled to private operations while accepting private grants to guide and govern curriculum.
What you say is that education is basically a game for the policy makers.
In the sense that education is an adversary to the right wing, yes. The right wing treats those things as games. 'It is their right to play' as the saying goes.
