I got kicked out of a public US high school in 1999 for arguing with a zionist world history teacher about israel/palestine. 👍

I got kicked out of kindergarten for breaking a racist homophobic bully’s nose lol.
They said I shouldn’t hit the kids, but he had it coming, and then I lost my teacher license.
I was 4 he was 6
(cw misogyny) Not AP, but my gov/econ teacher went on a long rant one class about how he knows the reason misogyny exists,
and that it was because women give birth, and that because of that their bodies need to be biologically weaker and need to be taken care of so they can take care of babies, and so it was only natural that men were protectors, and thus it was only natural that men get upset with women when they provide and then only get more mouths in return. He wasnt explicitly saying women deserved misogyny, but his whole rant was steeped in that attitude and justified with bioessentialism.
Very normal thoughts he had
Man knows he’s a misogynist and is justifying his own misogyny as “natural”.
Honestly sounds like the same shit Musk and the manosphere is on. All obsessed with their seed and impregnating women.
Yuuuup he was a shit person iirc. Idk anything specific, or if he tried anything, but he gave major creep vibes. and he would kinda bully the girls in his class and treat the boys with much more respect.
you should have given him the
ah yes, in keeping with the storied tradition of using on teenagers the arguments that adults will rightfully ridicule you for voicing
genetic essentialist...misandry...? Idk?
Had a weird day in one HS bio class where the teacher put some emphasis on how “since men are born with XY chromosomes they are genetically inferior to women who have more genetic material in their XX”
Just a weird memory your story dredged up
My teacher went on a long rant about how the Mexican/American War of the 1848s was totally justified because of the provocations and corruption of the Mexican government, and how they weren’t doing enough development in Texas, and in any case Texas was ethnically white and should have belonged to the USA anyhow. It took me years before I thought about how weird that rant was.
frantic beeping
substitute teacher was talking about crypto trading
had quite a few arguments with white fascists.
I was in a poli Sci course at college during the Bush/Kerry election.
In hindsight I heard the dumbest fucking things in that class
do you remember any specifics?
I went to a tiny Christian school for most of high school that taught from a truly evangelical fash curriculum (before it was cool! my parents’ church was out there innovating) and I know I heard some insane stuff, but I can’t remember any specifics now
I should see if I can find some of the textbooks online and see if they spark any hilarious memories
I kinda can’t remember the exact things said but there was this proto chud guy who wore a baseball cap 100% of the time who would get so mad in debates about Bush that he’d huff and pack his bag and just walk out. Happened multiple times
The people demand examples
I do kinda want to be a fly on the wall as the teacher tries to explain the current nonsense happening at the Federal level while fielding questions (and a few zingers) from his students.
The AP curriculum is largely set in stone because of the exams, so there are specific ideas that must be memorized to pass, but are obviously under stress because of (waves hands at everything)
Wasn’t my teacher but my brother had an AP world history class where the teacher couldn’t be fucked to pronounce Chinese names correctly - went off about “Zee Jinping pong [RACIST RHYME WITH PING PONG] who cares…”
I had a libertarian history teacher in HS who had the class watch V for Vendetta and had the class do projects about it; she was convinced the regime in V was a leftist state.
Maybe some people shouldn’t be allowed to teach impressionable kids.
About 25 years ago I had points taken off of a test in a US history class because I wrote “the civil war” instead of “the war between the states”, but this was at a private school in Alabama
I let the Ancient Reptilian Brain win again 😔
Honestly I cannot remember a single thing from my ap gov class. I was probably on my phone tbh, didn’t know jack shit about politics nor care at the time
I think this tagline comes from YSF and her senior-year AP gov class, 3 academic years ago iirc.
In my government class I was barely awake enough to detect something about the Federalist Papers, and the mechanisms of power that the president can exercise, mostly useless. But there was a unit about party alignment and realignment that answered a lot of lingering questions.
