I think I remember it saying dinosaurs and humans lived alongside each other. I also remember being taught plate tectonics was a lie? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Zron@lemmy.world 46 points 1 year ago (3 children) I was enrolled in a Christian school for kindergarten through second grade. I was suspended in first grade because I threw a tantrum over the teacher saying that dinosaur fossils were all fake and created to deceive people into believing evolution. According to her dinosaurs and humans coexisted before the flood, and scientists know this but carve rocks into bone shapes to fool people because atheists are evil. Naturally, being a dinosaur obsessed little boy, I flat out rejected this hypothesis. My grandmother had taught me to read way above my level, and I read encyclopedia entrees on different dinosaurs before bed every night, often annoying the shit out of grandma because id ask for explanations of sentences from scientific articles as a 6 year old. So after calling the teacher a moron for the fifth time, I was sent home early. When my mother heard my side of the story, she went to the public school the next day and asked for an enrollment form. Fuck Christian schools. Science is awesome and dinosaurs are cool. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] OmegaMan@lemmings.world 15 points 1 year ago Very punk.
