Yeah, that seems like a fairly lean education on the topic. If you're going to receive an education on something it probably shouldn't be just the bare minimum?

"Palestine" is not the one that did this. Hamas is a terrorist group, and their actions do not justify the fact that the Israeli government operates an apartheid state where people are given rights, status, and property on the basis of race, and also participates in the slaughter of innocent people.
This isn't a "whoever's worse should lose" situation. Israel commits human rights violations and Hamas is a terrorist group.
In order to learn about sex you're going to have to learn about either straight sex, gay sex, or both. Turns out both types of sex happen to exist. If you're going to learn about straight sex you should probably learn about gay sex too in case you're gay. If you're trans the topic of puberty and your changing body gets 10 times more complicated. You should probably learn about that in case you're trans. It would be helpful for queer kids and the things they experience to not be left out of sex ed, also so that kids who don't know there's some form of queer yet don't grow up thinking that they're broken.
Since both straight and gay sex exists, and because trans people exist too, learning about sex from those perspectives is important.
This kind of education is what could have stopped an entire country from thinking that AIDS is caused by being gay.
Excluding queer sexuality and gender from sex education is what we've been doing since forever, and surprise it's left queer kids unprepared for the things they will encounter, and the other kids with the kinds of assumptions that you express here.
Since you're already getting therapy, I have just one idea that's far out but might be cool:
Learn sign language. Deaf people don't speak, and while they can interrupt and demand attention similar to the way hearing people do, it seems like your main problem is sensitivity to sound.
Well, that is a pretty ridiculous interpretation.
Workplace democracy would most likely and most broadly refer to all employees of a company having a say in how the company is run. Either by voting on policies and changes, or by electing people to various executive/representative roles, much the same way that current Western democracies work.
An example of the janitor voting on where the surgeon makes a cut makes about as much sense as us voting on where the president flies in his helicopter. At best, it doesn't pass the make sense test, and at worst is a bad faith interpretation of what people mean when they say "workplace democracy"
A lot of those tests have already been done and were used almost exclusively to enforce segregation.
What will benefit the children born in 200 years?
I'm aware of all of this, but most of the software I use is Windows only. Recommending GIMP/whatever seems like enough to a proud Linux user, but it really just doesn't cut it. I'm savvy enough to get rid of all the stuff I hate about windows or switch to Linux, but I'm comfortable enough to stay with wondoes
Fascism is the bimbofication of ancient Rome
I think it would be good if he did have to deal with the hell of the court system until he dies, burning the wick of hope until the very end. It would honestly be a relief if he finally went to prison and was able to make peace with his situation in his final years.
Things that happen inside your head = not illegal
Things that happen outside of your head = can potentially be illegal.
It is interesting that similar sentiments aren't leveled against Israeli police & military when they slaughter innocent people.
It would be weird and suspicious if I did that right?
"Well, Israel would probably have more people on their side if they didn't kill thousands of innocent people" (which they have done)
It's like you can use this line against whoever you don't like to justify not liking them.
My sincere question is, what do you actually want the outcome to be? It is my opinion that if Hamas stopped going to war completely, Israel would continue to oppress Palestinians by denying them rights, displacing them from their homes, and keeping them as second class citizens on the basis of race.
