If art is subjective, why did schools enforce the idea that there's "right" and "wrong" ways to interpret literature?

I'm not talking about objective things like grammar, vocabulary, or structuring. I'm mostly talking about more subjective things like theme and mood. I get for younger students, since they need to learn to analyze and interpret literature. But for higher level students this might become more or a problem, especially when reading old poems and scripts. Why do schools make it seem like there's only 1 right way to view a story?

I've somehow managed to brick my own magazine.

So I was messing with the CSS for my own magazine, and I've somehow managed to bricked it. When you try to go to /m/internet_funeral, you'll see nothing. I've tried to change it back, but I can't access anything.

IDK when this will be fixed (or even if it's reversible), but I just wanna warm anyone who changed the CSS of your magazine, as you can brick your magazine if you mess it too much. Hopefully @ernest can quickly fix this, since this is a pretty dangerous bug.

I'll gladly be the sacrificial lamb for everyone else.

EDIT: Thank you @llama for the fix.

Try opening the inspection panel in your browser and disabling CSS, you should be able to do this in both chrome and Firefox. This should be able to at least get you back to the page where you can edit the css and fix it.

I'm still gonna keep this post up in case someone else has this problem.

With Reddit becoming public, why are the founders creating so much drama around the site? Wouldn't that make their IPO worse?

I'm not into investing, so sorry if this doesn't make sense.

With all the drama and news surrounding Reddit recently, why is Reddit making such bad decisions when they are about to go public? With all of their negative decisions they've been making recently, wouldn't all the bad press make their IPO worse? Are they trying to maximaze their profits to make their company seem better to investors when they go public?

It is impossible to be unbiased?

I don't know if this is a well known theory or not, but the basis is that it's impossible for someone to be unbiased, even if they say they aren't. People are subconsciously biased to a degree, so it's impossible to be truly unbiased.

I doubt this has any substance, but I thought it was an interesting thought experiment.
