    When I was in the third grade, I had a teacher tell me it was okay we pushed the natives off the land because we made more efficient use of it, and could therefore carry a greater population.

    In the previous grade the teacher passed around a worksheet, and we had to choose which jobs were most suited to what gender.

    Oh what a glorious whitebread bublefuck town I grew up in!

      My second grade teacher taught us the civil war was because of a disagreement over state’s rights.

      The same teacher marked me and a few other students down for completing a subtraction assignment using negative numbers. She explained we were supposed to be confused and write that we couldn’t do it.

      Edit: I forgot one! My third grade teacher marked me down for not knowing how much a hen weighed. It wasn’t a joke. Apparently there was a rule of thumb for estimating chicken weight. Any kids who weren’t raised on a farm missed the question.
