    My 6th grade science teacher tried to explain that Chernobyl was foretold in the book of revelations.

    This was a US public school. In the 90s. In a blue state.

      My history teacher taught us conspiracy theories and Vietnam War movie quotes. On jfk we spent two whole lessons on umbrella man, lessons on box cart hobos, missing frames of the z film, back and to the left…

      Decent state school in the UK in the 90s. Kinda reassuring the world was just a crazy back then

        lessons on box cart hobos

        Assuming this means life advice for living free on the land and not being murdered, raped, or robbed, then excellent.

          Ha I wish, after the shooting police arrested several hobos from the train yard behind the grassy knoll, years later people said they were the same people that burgled Watergate and probably Cia agents. I think the best evidence for that is that they look a bit like them kinda, obvious proof the Cia killed Kennedy.
