I don't know, we were also taught that Washington lied and had wooden teeth and other bizarre shit. How many flaws do they teach young North Koreans about the Kim dynasty?
I've not met one American teenager who isn't hypercritical of the US's legacy or current leadership. I'm not sure where everyone is getting that the system breeds sycophants (unless they're 1776 aesthetic fascists).

I mean weren't his actual dentures made of teeth from slaves? The wooden thing sounds like covering that up
I don't think they were his slaves, necessarily, but they were likely from a slave cadaver, as was popular practice at the time.
Potentially from a living slave, as enslaved peoples had been selling their teeth for centuries at that point.
he recorded collecting teeth from living slaves in his diaries
What the fuck
Fam I NEED a source for that!
According to George Washington’s ledger, on May 8, 1784, he paid 6 pounds 2 shillings to “Negros for 9 Teeth on Acct of Dr Lemoin”
Not clear if these teeth were specifically for washington's dentures but yeah
libs will say this was ok because he "paid" them
It quite literally is the future libertarians want.
True I just remembered hearing something to that effect, still horrifying tho

I think "wooden teeth" was a contemporary euphamism, but I'm not positive about that
