The line of thinking that goes “well, the goyim do it, why shouldn’t we?” is flawed since as Joseph pointed out in another thread, two wrongs don’t make a right. You can scream the word LEGAL until the end of the world, but that still won’t make it right.
And, by the way, Joseph, I am keeping the field of education in mind as a career option. I’m just a little hesitant because my mother got “burnt out of” teaching.
