In ATLA, there’s an infamous episode called The Great Divide.

Aang tells a lie to get two tribes to stop fighting a pointless feud that’s been going on a hundred years or so. And the fandom seems to get all huffy about that.

I think he did the right thing. If there’s nothing to prove he’s lying about how the feud began, then there’s nothing to prove about why it should continue either.

They say “Every child has a right to education.”

And then behave as if it’s “Every child has a responsibility to be educated.”

So yeah, while I absolutely think education in itself is vital, I do get peeved when they immediately lie by changing what they do versus what they say.

By they, I mean outdated education boards of self-absorbed twits who grew up decades earlier and have no real grasp of what today’s generation needs.

Ah, Gene Roddenberry must’ve written the movie then.
