Social studies textbooks are all invalid now.
Social studies textbooks are all invalid now.
I know this isn’t exactly a meme, but I had to share and this community seemed most appropriate- from my daughter’s 8th grade social studies text. Digital and yet already woefully out of date thanks to SCOTUS.
Hey, that's not true! The president still has to obey the law. He just can't be punished for breaking it. And you can't use evidence against him.
Differences, people!!
34Sadly most textbooks are pretty out of date. It already was like that when i went to 8th grade in 198x ( fuck, I'm really too tired to do the math now ).
I went to school in 4 different countries, one of the things in common were biased out of date textbooks.
Edit: this shouldn't be a thing. Seriously, a good education all around is the only thing to turn this world into a better place in the long term.
16I agree, but this particular change was because of the SCOTUS decision this summer and I laughed out loud when I read it. My daughter didn't know why, so I explained it to her. I'm glad I get to do social studies with her as a "learning coach" for her online school. I get to teach her what's utter bullshit.
(She's not homeschooled, it's a public school with real teachers. Paid better than most teachers in the state I might add, so they're pretty decent. It's just online... but it does require a parent or guardian to monitor things.)
6Sounds good and i imagine it to feel like a blessing, to be able to be more involved, actually to be a part in your own kids education.
Trump is a phenomenon. The kind of phenomenon i would rather read about in a history book, than having to live in the same timeline.
I find it funny how Trump actually exposed the whole theater of lies that is politics , but everything continues and goes on, without really something changing.
It's like if all agents of charge died a long time ago ...

It doesn't mention that the rich get a pass either.

7It’s an interesting idea, but shamefully not strictly related to the realities of what we have today.
