My AP Euro teacher constantly taught us not to commit "ethnocentrism" and he showed us the tank man footage, he was kind of awesome. He was a China guy before it was cool, makes me wonder what his exact ideology is.

The anti-cracker-aktion AP World History teacher at my school, which I mercifully managed to avoid having a class with, had a fun class highlight I heard from a friend where

CW: Racism, SAthe class was covering leaders in modern China. Friend corrects teacher's repeated mispronunciation of "Xi Jinping" to which he responded "Jinping [racist 'chinese name' rhyme] who cares". He also was later shitcanned along with several "hey fellow kids" "cool" teachers for creeping on girls, which tracks.

It’s not a real American highschool experience without one or two of the (often liberal arts) teachers getting got or being widely known as a pedo

It was like 4 or 5 at least, and it was not a big school agony-deep

Pretty sure they showed me the tank man footage and the told me that was the tanks going to the square to mow over the protestors. And ofc the guy in front of the tanks was “definitely likely killed”

Edit: honestly thinking about it all it’s really the same vibes as the DARE program. Feed kids bullshit, and it all falls apart once you realize that at least some of it was bullshit. Leading you to dig in and question more
