Yeah, that is what i meant, some time i ago when i wrote that str8 is just a microcosm of the larger general society(the socio-politico-economic power structure). The public school system and the religious institutions' primary function is acculteration. We were the kids who were too strong. We were the ones whose minds' were not so weak. We were like the wild horses that they wanna throw a saddle on. By our strength we indicated that we were a threat to the system, at least that is how we were interpreted, by the fearful and the insecure. When none of their usual tricks could make us break we found ourselves in str8. "Brainwash education, tryin' to make us the fool" - BoB Marley(Crazy Baldhead)
BTW, my Websters' Encyclopedic Dictionary, copyright, 1993, defines "acculturation" as : noun. modification of the culture of one or more peoples or of an individual through continuous and prolonged contact with alien people.
Yeah, that sounds like str8.
