Yes, Level Five had had this on their plate for awhile, but she'd brought up her objections plenty of times. Maybe that had been forgotten in the rush to implement this new reality. "All I'm saying is that both sides of the issue need to be heard before such an upheaval is made. More research needs to be done before an upheaval like this. Which really hasn't been done, going by the way everyone is speaking, of course." Slow down, do things properly. Don't just speed things up because the Minister says to. That was all she was saying.

And this guy had her shaking her head. "Mr. Potter, I'm sorry, but it sounds like you're saying that Muggle schooling isn't good enough for the magical or magical-adjacent to even step foot into. You should know that there are plenty of us both squibs and full witches and wizards that have attended Muggle schooling for either part or all of their education and have gone on to be very successful in fields both magical and Muggle. So, to say that squibs need to be separated from Muggles, which is what you seem to be saying, is, at best, highly.......unelightened and at worst highly bigoted. Hiding our magic from Muggles is fine, avoiding interacting with them is not." And yes, Sky herself was one of those examples of successful full witches, having attended a Muggle school for two out of her seven years of secondary school. "It is my personal belief that squibs do us more good if they attend Muggle schooling and work in the Muggle side of things as liaisons and advocates for not just us witches and wizards in the Muggle community, but for Muggles in our community too, as they are better positioned to understand both sides. Maybe they could even work at Hogwarts teaching Muggle Studies, since, again, they can understand both sides. But this understanding and any other talents that squibs may have is completely squandered shuffling papers in the Ministry." Which if someone was being completely honest, would be what they were mostly regulated to.

Man, she hated being the lone voice of objection in a room. Someone else could really take this over now, seriously.
