    And the kids can come and go as they please, assuming their nations of origin aren’t actively obstructing use of the Gates and violently punishing those who would use them.

    Although, it could be Welsh.

    Or Americanized version of German Forst.

    Or Scottish.

    The point is, it's mainly Scandinavian.
    Or English - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Frost

    Yup. Or how do we know Xavier didn't put plants in their homes so their kids can go home for dinner sometimes. Humans can't go through the portals but mutants can go out. All they need is a wall, doesn't look like the portal takes up too much space. I just know Mah Guthrie has a portal somewhere on that farm.

    I voted Yes but only to a point, and I believe that is closer to what's going on here than a simple No

    We'll see but they do have human allies certainly Corsair is one? And there are others. The idea NO HUMANS are pro mutant is absurd.

    Now, the concept of never resisting their own oppression? Always turning the other cheek? These ideals have been proven impractical over long time of comics. Time to mature at a certain stage and realize it

It often improves the people around us who are inspired by the attempt. It makes our corner of the world a better place than it would otherwise be. Examples would be to be the perfect friend/spouse/brother/sister/son/daughter/etc. We know we'll never truly achieve being perfect, but we try and try and try. Real life dreams like MLK Jr and fictional dreams like Xavier's are always worth pursuing. For a devout Christian, it is to be as holy and kind and loving as Jesus. No matter what, they should never be abandoned. Of course, an idealist's heart beats in me in spite of surviving my "family". Obviously, I voted yes to the poll.
    I can't Like your post, so I'll quote it and say it just so. Liked.

    Even if a beautiful dream is impossible, pursuing it is never a mistake.

    Nah, a the private property of a school's a bit different to a whole land-mass/country. I mean, sure, you can argue a case for the kid maybe being considered to study abroad, but...? Kinda flimsy if the parents actually do want to join their kid in support and, ya know, could potentially have the option.

    As for why I asked you those questions, it's because you didn't allude to the individuals and their experiences in the first answer you made, only about leaders and businessmen and the systems that they control.
    I'm glad to see some nuance being brought up to this discussion, it was lacking.
    I didn't allude to the individuals because I was talking on a macro level, where the fate of a few individuals isn't an imperative point compared to a shake-up of human society from top to bottom. In the inevitable conflict, humans should have a response proportional to their actions. Did a human act with violence against mutants as parts of warring factions do? Mutants should react with the necessary violence to suppress that individual. Do they want to ally with the mutants or simply be out of harm's way? Then they should be put out of harm's way as long as possible. I don't see that as that big an issue because I don't believe many individuals, when threatened with a revolution where they are the ones benefitting from the status quo, would choose to side with the revolutionaries. So, I tend not to focus on that and look at the bigger picture.

    Or any other school. Can you imagine parents trying to sit in on classes everyday or live at a boarding school with the students.

    Real talk though. I find it absolutely fascinating how many people dictate and judge how others should or should not deal with their oppressors.

    Gosh, who knew that the notion of not having unfettered access to a place would be so offensive to some people?
