I don't want my HS diploma anymore because of this. (Trigger Warning)

Hello, my fellow teachers. Welcome to my rant. The subject matter in this post will be a trigger for some. You have been warned. I'm just a student who got out of HS in 2017, I'm currently in my mid-twenties. I love teachers, I had a great HS experience overall. But with all the stuff that's been happening, and with AI on the rise, I don't want my HS diploma anymore. I'm not sure if this is just frustration at the current state of things or not, but I can't stand seeing my diploma. I don't want it. I know it's silly, as it's just a piece of paper, but I was so proud of it at one time. These days, it's meaningless to me. I don't even want to display it anymore. I don't feel like any of my accomplishments in life even mean anything. I was proud to be a product of the public school system. And now, it's in danger, being taken over by people who don't know a thing about educating. People who don't want children to have critical thinking. I'm sick of it, and I feel defeated because it's hard to do anything about it. I just needed to get this off my chest.<br><br>Edit: Thank you so much for all the kind words. I didn't think this post would get any traction. I'm glad I could talk about this. I feel like I've been encouraged to love education again lol. But thank you to the professors who commented about how adults react to AI and such. You all have given me hope that I won't have to feel this way forever. Thank you all again. And thank you to my fellow students who feel like me. You're not alone.
