I think the biggest one that was drilled into us constantly, especially about WW2 and Nazis was
“ Those Who Cannot Remember the Past Are Condemned To Repeat It”
This was a load of shit as evidenced by what is going on in the USA right now and other parts of the world. The real lesson should have been to push back the second a nazi takes an inch as they will take more if you play the nice and tolerate. Not everyone is well intentioned.
1987 Edison was a genius and invented everything, Turns out he was actually the Elon Musk of his time.
‘‘You won’t have a calculator in your pocket all the time!’’
USA is a democracy
I don’t care if it’s wrong, Marilyn Manson had his ribs removed so he could blow himself
When I was in school, we were taught that vaccines work. /s
The United States is a constitutional Republic/democracy with 3 co-equal branches of government…
I guess the big one for me is the whole Mozart for babies thing. It wasn’t Mozart’s music making babies and young children smarter, it was a combination of more affluent parents or at least parents with college plus educations having time and income to spend on enrichment activities.
That whole “got milk” campaign was a load of bullshit.
It turns out only about 30% of the global human population is able to even digest milk.
That, and most traditional dairy consuming European cultures never actually drank milk. They made cheese and butter, then poured the remainder in the pig trough to turn those calories into pork.
man i cant even have my mocha frap without oat milk
Work hard and you will be rewarded and taken care of. LOLLLLLLLLLL.
The book Lies My Teacher Told Me by James W. Loewen goes a long way to accomplish this. At least it did for me.
Oh I’ve got a good one. Learned in the American south. Supposedly the American Civil War was not fought over slavery, but differing railroad track widths. Slavery was a minor detail that was a scape goat for the north to force the south to use its standard railroad width.
Sure, some are still taught. Like you can catch a cold from being in the cold.
School experiences are too varied for such a site to exist. Examples:
Climate change was universally agreed upon to exist and be caused by people 30 years ago. For some reason it no longer appears to be.
Leif Erikson was taught to us back then but you’ll find people today that celebrate Columbus.
When I graduated highschool, the idea that some dinosaurs had feathers and evolved into birds was still “fringe science”.
