Model United Nations, Wednesday, period 1
"Hi, everypony! I hope you all have some fun plans for tomorrow's holiday, even if it's just hanging out here with some friends! Me, I plan to eat everything!"
Possibly even literally. Thanksgiving was Pinkie's kind of party.
"One of the only ways I even know tomorrow's holiday even exists is this school," Pinkie continued. "And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only pony here who can say that!" Ignore the part where she really was the only pony around who spoke a human language, just now. "School is great for learning about all kinds of things, not just about new holidays to celebrate! School helps keep ponies out of poverty, hunger, and all sorts of other problems we've talked about this semester. But not everypony gets the chance to even go to school, and lots of ponies who do don't get the same great education we get here in Fandom. And most of them in Fandom's world are girls!"
As someone from a matriarchical society, this concept boggled Pinkie's mind.
"How can we help encourage nations everywhere to make sure everypony has equal access to quality education? Does the United Nations have the responsibility to make sure that kids go to school, or should they just make sure they have the chance if they want to? What's the most important thing you think school has done for you in your life, personally?"
Pinkie smiled around at the gathered students. "Oh, and when you're all done discussing, I brought . . . PIE!" She whipped a table cloth -- bet you didn't notice that was there before -- off her desk to reveal it covered in pies of varying size and flavor, all steaming cheerfully in perfectly formed whisps.
The joys of having a cartoon pony for a teacher.
