If the most dystopian thing you've ever seen is repurposing a mall for a school you really need to get out more. That's not dystopian, it's resourceful.
Yeah I hear you. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt and assuming she just couldn't think of a better way to describe the situation. It's definitely weird seeing a giant Levis ad in a classroom, and it's unfortunate that the original school building was found to be dangerous to kids. Just the whole 'dystopian' thing really doesn't fit for me haha.
I mean, most dystopian fiction is YA and in the 90s that was all anti consumerism, anti mall culture. She probably means "literally like a dystopian novel"
It might be breaking the whole liberal illusion of schools existing as isolated, ucorrupted places for knowledge outside of the whole horror of bullshit American culture, which is harder to claim when math class is in the room that used to be a Spencer's gifts.

That's a good point. It's harder for me to view schools as something so pure since I'm jaded af.
