Per capita we are 32nd in our spending on primary education, and also 32nd on secondary, even mexico has us beathttps://www.statista.com/statistics/238733/expenditure-on-education-by-country/As a percentage of gdp we are even worse in 66th place beaten out by even cuba.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_spending_on_education_(%25_of_GDP)

       @valleyforgePrimary and secondary school are the only ones in the state that is paid for publicly. So no I wouldnt call that cherry picking, they were singled out for good reason. Now if we made university free for everyone too, as we should, then id be happy to include that. Otherwise no, especially in the context of this comic.

       @johnabsIts intended to be comedic by overexagerating the way your stereo typical american acts, thinking they are the only ones with freedom is a common trope.

       @freemo the crucifix pendants and tattoos are there too, under the clothing, an integral force influencing the story.
