spelling doesn't matter

when teachers
could no
longer discipline students,
that was
the beginning of the end.
when they
took prayer
out of school, 
the pledge of allegiance,
when you no longer
had to dress
decently, and behave 
yourself
all hell broke loose.
when spelling no longer
mattered,
when you could sit
wherever you
wanted to in class, when
you demanded
to be called a girl
when you were
really a boy, it became
a giant
cup of crazy.
everyone
staring at their phones.
oblivious
to the words coming
out of the teacher's mouth.
