          The Canadian school system has begun replacing the term “special needs” with “exceptional.” A student is “exceptional” and has “exceptionalities.”

          Seeing “American exceptionalism” has a completely different meaning to me now.

      I wouldn’t waste your energy trying to understand it, if I were you. It’s just the usual idiotic “FrEe HeALtHcArE iS cOmMuniSm!!1!” take.

      People will ignore all of the genocides and human rights violations communist countries are responsible for and only focus on the small handful of things it does right.
