    Its fun to reminisce about all the blatant lies we were fed in grade school.

    Who remembers that pretty cartoon in their textbooks of the pilgrims and their new friends the Native Americans enjoying a Thanksgiving feast together?

      We spent only spent a week learning about the labor movement in US history, and it was basically “Kids were working in factories and then they passed a law to stop that.”

      It’s like they didn’t want to give us ideas.
