Summer Heights High has a lot of problems and tasteless, offensive humour. But. Most of the jokes were poking fun at bullying, aggression and entitlement much more than anything else.
At the time that show was on, I was teaching a lot of boys who reminded me of Jonah and that show made me feel seen. Those boys terrorised other kids in the school. One of them walked up and coward punched a kid while I was talking to him. They were aggressive and loved to put down and laugh at other kids, just like Jonah does. They cheated at every game. They disrupted the class and took advantage of the kindness of adults. Just like Jonah. I loved that that show made fun of him because it was punching up at kids who were doing horrible things.
Apparently it was based on a real kid. He wants sympathy because he was dyslexic. Sorry, but if you were also a bully like Jonah is, I don’t care and I don’t think dyslexia is an excuse.

I love Chris lily and Ja’mie I think that cancel culture is too far we can laugh at stupid shit and not have to cry about it. Not everything has to be inclusive or politically correct or inoffensive. It’s offensive to me that people are so easily offended.
