Pretty much every history class not so subtly points you to the conclusion that the US had racism, it was bad, but we defeated it so people complaining now are just spoiled.

...when I was a kid. That shit is probably way worse now.

That different parts of your tongue taste different things.

When I was little, we did an experiment where we were supposed to "feel" which part of our tongue we were tasting things with, and I was like, "pretty sure I taste it everywhere". That teacher was fired for her anger issues at the end of the year, and that was certianly one of the moments where it came out, haha.

The annual lie: Next year isn't going to be as easy as this year!

Middle School will be harder than Elementary School.

Junior High will be harder than Middle School.

Senior High will be harder than Junior High.

College will be harder than Senior High.

Working a real job will be harder than School.

that we have 5 senses

In Germany, a lot of the times it's taught that we barely did colonialism. Like, "colonialism was bad but it was mostly other countries". Meanwhile, in reality, German colonialism saw the first mayor genocide of the 21st century.

The United States was founded on principles of liberty and equality for all.

Columbus discovered America.

At least this is what I was taught when I was in elementary school back in the '90s.

I have no idea if it's changed thus far.

Checks and balances in the US government. Government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Constitutional rights being unassailable.

All these are lies. I think it can be fixed, but it won't be easy.

I remember in school learning about the different areas of the tongue tasting different things, and then we had an experiment to try it, and everyone was like "wow it works!" but I told the teacher it didn't work for me, and I got told I was doing it wrong =w=

Anywho, the entire thing about different tastes being localized to different areas is bullshit, so that's 1 point to me and 0 to the teacher

"Communism is when the government does stuff."

30 years ago, it was still taught that we Belgians went to the Congo out of benevolence, to help lift up the people there. Not one mention of rubber quota or chopped off hands. Fuck that indoctrination.

The bavarian socialist republic was a chaotic murderouse revolutionarny group that had to be crushed by the military because they were murdering people just for the fun of it and it was not supported by the people.

The exact opposite is the case. The people were big in support of it, it would have lead to full pure democracy but the SPD corrupted and destroyed they saw it as a threat to their perfered order of a none direct democracy with still clear societal seperation of wealthy and the rest

That a, e, i, o and u were the only vowels. So what's the vowel in sky?

I got marked incorrect for answering "a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y"

France: the French revolution was poor people rioting. We are starting to accept that it was rich people killing each other to replace monarchy, and using poor people as a side-effect, kind of like... what we have right now, what a coincidence!

Working hard will get you rewarded. When really you get dunked on with more work.

I don't know if its a lie exactly, but probably the most damaging thing was being conditioned into not defending or speaking up for myself.

I got attacked, thrown into a main road. I was told it was my fault for making myself an easy target because I was playing in some woods after school.

I so rarely ever defended myself because of how scared I was of the punishment being worse than the bruises. I used the internet to escape from it and my parents threatened to take away my PC if I ever got an after school detention. I felt like defending myself was wrong.

The only times I did defend myself was when it was extremely bad and I no longer cared about the possibility of punishment. A guy was sexually assaulting me and I punched him in the face so hard that he completely stopped, almost like his brain rebooted for a good several seconds. Then his nose started dripping blood over the floor.

Teacher was fucking furious with me. When asked why I did it I just looked at the floor and muttered "I don't know". I was probably about 14, I didn't really know what sexual assault was, like maybe if he had been ripping my clothes off? I just knew I didn't like what he was doing and wanted him to stop.

That homework isn’t discriminatory. Not all kids have lives that allow them to do it. If you can’t cover all the bases in whole ass 8 hours I’m there a day that’s on you, not me. This is only true k - 12, college level courses are voluntary so having some homework could be considered ok.

Texas History

Pictures of the civil rights movement are in black in white even though color photography existed for decades. They're only in black and white to make kids think it was longer ago than it was.

They still teach the bullshit Thanksgiving story in most schools in the US.
