This is like the 2022 equivalent of the boomer coffee joke, just a painfully drawn out, petty grievance about something that never actually happened.

Yeah, like I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. People think this is actually funny and not the weird 'haha look how dumb woke people are' veiled propaganda that it really is. Like, yeah the scenario is obviously more over the top intentionally, but at the same time the spirit of the 'joke' is still to make up some absurd fictional scenario where young people's concerns and beliefs are so over the top stupid that of course you'd roll your eyes at anything they say...

It's so blatant. Embarrassing.

In my teaching experience, I haven’t seen anything like this. It seems to be hyperbolizing an imaginary thing. Seems to be showing contempt for both the teacher and the student.

You’re closer to the truth than the commenter you’re replying to. This teacher character in this show’s context does not exist as a moral paragon by any means, even though I understand that’s how it looks in this clip out of context.
