lmfaooo this reminds me of when my parents took me out of public school and put me in private school for 9th-12th grade. I had no fucking idea those goddamn lunatics would literally teach creationism in Biology class, but imagine my fucking surprise when my science teacher said “turn to Genesis chapter 1 verse 1” 💀
when I was very young my mother told me “they’re going to try and teach you that we came from monkeys but that’s not true and you shouldn’t listen to them because we were made from god” and she was my mom and I was like 7, so I pretty much just went “okay, noted, anyway”
anyway like 2 years later evolution comes up in class and one of my classmates goes “is this the we evolved from monkeys thing?”
and I’m on Red Alert. this is what my mom told me about!
the teacher replies, “well, we share a common ancestor, but we didn’t evolve directly from apes. if you go back way before apes or people existed, you’ll find a different third thing we both came from. we know this because of things like fossils”
and I was like whoo! dodged a bullet there, good thing my 4th grade science class isn’t trying to teach us we came from monkeys and instead figured stuff out using fossils and taught us that instead :)
Instructions Unclear, Ended Up Believing In Evolution Anyway
y’all in the comments talking bout “elitism” are enabling the problem! y’all hype up fuckin mediocrity but wanna act surprised when the girls get in front of a microphone and can’t hold a single note! they can’t sing, can’t dance, can’t write and can’t hold the attention of a crowd, but y’all don’t care cause they pretty and take cute pictures 🤪 bring back A&R’s with an actual fucking ear for music and talent. bring back choreography, bring back vocal coaches, bring back criticism!!!!
