Growing up I was under the impression that no one could ban books in the US. Fahrenheit 451 was a book we read and studied in sixth grade. I think that’s around 12 years old-ish. That’s when we also started learning the constitution and basics of law.
It blows my mind we’re going through this nonsense right now
Growing up I didn’t think abortion was controversial, only very religious conservative people standing outside abortion clinics find if controversial. Wasn’t until we overturned roe v wade when I realized there are way more people who disagree with abortion than I initially thought.
interesting perspective. i grew up in a super conservative circle and i was under the impression that most people found it morally wrong. in reality, the vast majority of Americans support access to abortion in some way, regardless if they would personally have one themselves
I remember learning through multiple personal experiences some time during highschool that some adults were vastly less intelligent and wise than some of my fellow 16 yr olds, it was shocking to me. Honestly I think some people hit puberty and just began coasting, ego and entitlement outweighed curiosity, and they began to live with the belief that society’s collection of history, science, and reasoning, was worth less than their own personal opinion.
You’re right of course, but your 6th grade teacher should have told you that the subject of the book could happen again. Freedom, eternal vigilance, and so on.

The second I heard Trump got elected, I gave standard ebooks $10 and grabbed their entire library, and did a “shopping spree” on zlibrary.
History repeats itself. Left, right, left, right. One foot after the other. It’ll be here soon.

Oh, absolutely. Peaking in highschool is a very real thing.
its a shame those same people are also 90% of the management field.

I mean, it was sixth grade. They could have said that. I didn’t keep the transcripts.
You don’t have a pornographic memory?
