"I think that the sooner a kid learns how fucked up the world is, the better shot they have of making it. Civil rights are important. Human rights are important, but ultimately, they will not matter. When the shit hits the fan, so will your rights, and you better be ready for when that day comes...because it will come...it always does.

No one is interested in teaching reality."

What is reality Robert? People have been debating this for eons.

The reality you create for yourself, influences how you react to other people, and how you live your life.
If you go around thinking 'the world is a fucked up place'- then the way you act must reflect this. Your behaviour because of this view, then effects how other people relate to you in turn. You can create a fucked up world for yourself. Or, you can choose differently.

As for being upset about whether or not it should be categorized as Geography/ History, I do not care. I dont think that any school subjects have clear lines of separation. You cant understand geography, without some sort of historical (and even polital) context. Why is there a North and a South Korea? For the record, I learned more about Poetry in my French classes, than all of my years of English, or creative writing. Bonus. Thankfully, my teacher would allow our class to follow/explore tangents.

As for the whole "that's what college is for" theorem: I am also fortunate that my teachers didnt have that philosophy. I'm glad I didnt have to forfeit all challenging classroom discussions, just because I would never end up in college.
