Right? They sure did gloss over that whole period where Canada had Japanese concentration camps...


Pretty much everything we were taught about astronomy in grade school was so oversimplified it was basically incorrect.

Seriously. We were taught that 'there's no gravity in space'!

I've noticed that almost everyone will agree that much of what they were taught in grade school was oversimplified, outdated, uninformed, or biased. But when you go 'yeah, also that stuff about only men having penises and only women having uteruses and there are only two true binary biological sexes, which align to anatomy and chromosomes, and that sex is the same as gender, right?' people are like oh, no, that stuff was totally accurate and representative.
Hey, guess what most of our teachers and parents totally didn't understand? The biological, physiological, and social makeups of sex and gender is as complicated as history and physics.
