Talk:School Daze - Part 1/@comment-4066758-20180714233150/@comment-4066758-20180716234410

You still don't understand? Well, let me put it this way; if the Young Six hadn't been misbehaving, would they have put other students in danger? Probably not. So it's still Twilight's fault. Also, you seem to have ignored what I said before bringing that up:

"If she had, at the very least, tried to change the regime, then she wouldn't be at fault. Barring that, there was another option.

Allow me to quote the transcript:

'Twilight Sparkle: I get it. Things are getting off to a rougher start than expected. But that's okay! Spike: Who are you, and what have you done with Twilight Sparkle? Twilight Sparkle: Every school in Equestria follows these rules. As long as we do too, we'll be fine. Starlight Glimmer: Maybe we should... try something new? Twilight Sparkle: The EEA will be here this afternoon for Friends and Family Day. They need to see a school that follows their guidelines. Fluttershy: Even if those guidelines aren't working? Twilight Sparkle: Well, then we have to try harder and make sure they do.'

Have you noticed it yet? The problem here isn't just what she said; it's what she DIDN'T say. It would've only taken 1 line of dialogue, and Twilight would've been absolved of any blame. Allow me to alter that last line of the what I quoted above, and I'll show you what I mean:

'Fluttershy: Even if those guidelines aren't working? Twilight Sparkle: If there were other ways, I'd consider them, but there aren't any other options, and, since Neighsay will be here any minute, there's not enough time to come up with a plan.'

If she had given a reason as to why she couldn't change things up, that would've absolved of any blame. But no, she said, '[w]ell, then we have to try harder and make sure they do.'"

Furthermore, if Neighsay's bigotry was a part of those standards, then, by your own logic, Twilight is still at fault for including them.
