Lewis' recollections of his public school years remind me a little of George Orwell's autobiographical essay , describing his own ghastly school days. It's well worth reading, though more than a bit depressing.

“First they came for Abdul Rahman and I spoke out because I was a Muslim. Then they came for the Palestinians and I raised hell because I was a Jew. Then they came for the Iraqis and I protested because I was an American. Then they came for the Muslims and I spoke out because I was a Christian, Then they came for the poor and I spoke out because I was rich. By the time they came for me, I had all the support a man could ask for.”
