My modern Latin america teacher is requiring us to read Che, and my friend's american history teacher said "you guys from the boot heel may think I’m a raging liberal or something. To me that’s a joke because I’m literally a communist” (note the boot heel is the "deepest south" part of missouri.

Maybe the kids are going to be okay. Hopefully this brightened your morning, knowing that there are some based people out there with some influence.

Edit: I forgot to mention my chem teacher grew up in the soviet union, from about 1970-1990

    :( At least they're just teaching you math, math is kinda hard to fuck up with shitty politics.

      Nazi textbooks on math literally had stuff like "the average patient with a hereditary illness costs the taxpayer X amount of money per year, pls calculate how much the Reich would save annually if we did eugenics"

        A landlord leaches from 250 people normally distributed from the palace of the soviets. The landlord determines rent based on the function f(x). How much capital will be freed up after the landlord is shot?

      My calculus professor in college would often teach an equation and then say something like "bet they won't show you that one in China." He'd do it constantly and would often use the phrase "chinese math" to mean something incorrectly arranged. It was bizarre and constant.

      Alright, lesson 1. We’re going to talk about a guy named Pythagoras and why he was correct about beans. He was white. We’re also going to talk about how no one had ever made a grid of perpendicular lines before Euclid. He was also white. Any questions?

        I just kinda meant if you're taking a history class, its going to make a lot more of an impact on your understanding of the material if your teacher is racist than if you're taking math.
