    I get every school teacher thinks they could be the next Jane Elliott, but has anyone told them they can teach kids about weird fucked up historical institutions without enacting them?

      I mean there's also the better way of presenting this (a la Jane Elliott) by having the women subjugate the men in the class to the shitty chivalrous standards but we can't possibly do anything like that lmao

        Hey I remember doing something like this when I was in school

        Though I wasn't the most adjusted kid so it did lead to homicidal fantasies involving the grisly murder of my tormentors, I'm better now though

      Alright I’m coming as a teacher. Hoenstly no, because despite what we want to believe a large portion of these suburbanite teachers are all chuds. They can from well off families (how do you think they can afford to live on a teachers salary) and they spout chud shit back at students. Most will be pro union because it helps their job but there far too many of my colleagues who are sprouting “poor people are all on unemployment right now because it’s paying them more then workinf” and talking about FB censoring true patriots and shit.

        I grew up in a suburb and unfortunately had a bunch of chud/chud-ajacent teachers. Like I remember watching Animal Farm and my fucking english teacher being like "and that's why communism won't work, the pigs will take over" so yeah maybe don't let them exert their instructive fantasies.

          It took cliff notes for me to realIze the book was anti authoritarian not anti socialism. All my teachers said it was about filthy communism.

      I mean, experimental history is a really important thing to expose children to. But ah, not like this sort of bullshit (which incidentally bears no resemblance to actual high medieval social codes)
