It’s ridiculous to equate asking kids to be cooperative in class to subservience. If education is slavery, what alternative do you propose? Do we just let them live in the streets and scrap to survive? How does that benefit them to grow up and enter a society they know nothing about?

I didn't say it is slavery. That is on you. Though, I would not be shocked to see these complaints more in minority heavy environments.

My assertion is only to be careful with complaints on respect. All too often the folks that are complaining on it haven't done their part in giving it, either.

And I make no claims that this is a new or unique perspective. 30 years ago, I recall books and shows already touching it.

This is almost surely factual. Why do you suppose that is?

No single reason. I do assert that respect is reciprocate, and all too often minorities are not respected.
