My 6th grade history teacher in the early 2000s told us in the class that the Native American genocide was completely justified and without it "you wouldn't be here today". That woman was bat shit fucking crazy. Her son went to war in Iraq and she had a shrine for him in the class room. This was in 2003 when the War on Terror was starting to get hot. I was still in elementary school when 9/11 happened and for the rest of that year, every morning we had to stand for the pledge of allegiance and sing that stupid Lee Greenwood song. This carried over into my 5th grade year. I heard that song so many times, I still have the lyrics memorized and I'm 28 years old now ugh.
