About this Quote

John Mellencamp's quote suggests that it is not fine to eliminate authority, even if it is only in regards to a high school teacher. He is indicating that it is important to respect authority figures, even if you disagree with them. This is likely since authority figures remain in location to ensure that rules and policies are followed, and that order is preserved. By combating authority, it can lead to turmoil and interruption, which can have a negative effect on the school environment. Additionally, it can also lead to negative repercussions for the person who is fighting authority, such as suspension or expulsion. Therefore, it is necessary to respect authority figures and to follow the guidelines and regulations that they have put in place.
