gollark: Redraw the states using Voroni tessellation to reduce gerrymandering.
gollark: I think schools should definitely have less of the conformity stuff, more choice of subject etc., and actual acknowledgement of the existence of computers.
gollark: Oh, uniforms are bad, why even *have* those (except to produce conformity, which is an unstated goal of lots of schooling I think)?
gollark: But it forces you to do lots of things even when you don't particularly like them and are uninterested in continuing them.
gollark: One example *is* excellent evidence of general trends, yes.
