Many times, folks that came right out of high school didn't know how to follow rules and didn't understand when they were asked to do something that they didn't personally want to do. This provided a challenge for them.
The reality of being an adult is many times you are asked to comply with rules that you may not agree with. If Liberty can help some folks prepare for the realities of what they can expect in life, good. As an employer I found sometimes the easiest people to manage are those that came either came from the military or a parochial school. There are many other skills that make those folks successful but being easy to manage is a huge plus to employers who are constantly trying to adapt to the needs of their customers/clients.
It's also good for folks to learn to pick their battles. Not everything is worth a big protest. When young folks are asked to comply with rules that may be inconvenient but not earth shattering it may help them realize that some things aren't worth a fight and can be tolerable.
For myself, there were two men who I learned a ton from and helped me be successful. One is my dad, who was in the Navy and the other was my theatre teacher in high school, Mr. Giles Turner who has now been teaching high school for over 50 years. Ironically, Giles came from a parochial school background and ran his classroom similarly, aside from the religious teachings. He had rules. Some of them felt dumb but it taught you that life would be full of rules and sometimes, to move forward in some situations, you would comply. You always have the option of not complying but with that comes consequences. Sometimes the issue is big enough to take a stand and deal with consequences. Sometimes it is not. But it's a good thing overall for kids to learn to make that distinction before thinking anything being asked of them is an affront to their identity of individuality.
I love ya brother so I'll give you a heads up. He is nothing more than a Troll, he has stated so himself. Great advice for normal people though

Finally, someone with a well thought out, educated response that actually makes LU sound reasonable instead of a bunch of nonsense noise.

So he took my thought pattern and elaborated. Glad to see you are able to read between the lines.
