Mine too! In AP US History. I bet it’s not much different now. There are still people who are like, well, you know, the US did what it had to do, and it was *nothing* like a concentration camp, no sireebob. Mental note to take my kids to Manzanar.

Right. Or to show the cultural contributions of an enslaved population, which are often overlooked, marginalized, or assumed to have only impacted the descendants of slaves themselves.

My aunt and I have been marathoning Hawaii Five-O( The new series) on Netflix and we just watched an episode from season 4 about a Japanese man whose family was sent to a Hawaiin interment camp in 1943, and he thought a solider guarding the camp had killed his father. It was a really well written episode, both as a…

This TX bullshit is why I am so happy my son’s school uses iPads for everything. His teachers can easily design their own curriculum (and have done so) and don’t have to rely on these stupid revisionist history books.

I think my favorite part was.............

Ashley Madison equivalent on The Matrix, but MUCH less real:

The schadenfreude is so delicious I could eat it with a spoon. I’ve seen better bot chat abilities on Russian porn auto-follow bots on Twitter. They probably have more integrity too.

If you burn all the sofas lady callers will have nowhere else to sit.

For what it’s worth, these douchebros made a sign that sounds like they want to call the father’s “Daddy,” not that they want the daughters to call them Daddy.

WHY is “flicking the bean” even a phrase though? I’ve never understood it

I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH THAT.

No-Tapas Woman’s story didn’t have enough revenge. THE KNIFE WASN’T USED.

I hate to imagine what would have happened if Kelly from the first story had told her mom that the woman had spat on her. That nasty character would have gotten far worse than sangria dumped on her.
