With such an exotic future setting, you'd expect the props department to do better than a dremel tool. Maybe there's a co-branding deal?

But I remember how police used to vocally support gun control and that's faded away as cop shops have become widely filled by conservative culture warriors. As in so many things, I don't think we can rely on the police

It's not helped that for a while phonics was a culture war issue, so it would come up in the same conversation as new math and flouride in the water. Admittedly, the phonics advocates then weren't so much interested in efficacy, but rather regimentation in the classroom
