But then these communist bastards go on and on about the holocaust books, civil rights, and feminist post-modern retardation for the whole fucking curriculum

Back in 2012, when the election was going on we were having rap battle between Romney and Obama, and more kids supported Obama then Romney

public school does condition you to be somewhat of an activist

this Jewish girl who I might date just turned 19 (born 1999)

anyway...she said she was a SJWish leftist in high school (academically inclined people tend to gravitate towards that when they're in HS)

It either brainwashes you or redpills you, or first the former and then the latter

she's pretty right wing now though

I became right winged around 2011 thanks to my dad

keep in mind that she's about to enter her second semester of her freshman year

I'd classify her as Gen Z

I think the cutoff is 1996

tbh people born in 1996-2000 are more Gen Z than millennial

My family's right wing, but apolitical until a few years back

I was born in 1994, and I share quite a few traits with Gen Z

people born in 1982 are quite different

btw how old is everyone here?

I'm 23

20

My Dad was raised in Cleveland’s Little Italy District by my Italian Grandmother and My Danish Grandfather (who I never met)

a Danish grandfather? Interesting. I know the midwest has quite a few Scandinavian descendants

He was from Grand Rapids, Michigan

I've been talking a lot with my family as of late

My Grandmother was the Daughter of Sicilian immigrants

But they just need to wipe most of the English material off of the fucking map

Complete garbage

@FLanon do you remember what you were forced to read in high school?

Grammar is really where they should stop for the most part, let the people think for themselves later

Elie Wiesel, Night

MLK stuff

my selection in English class wasn't that bad...

I think my mother is English, because she said her side of the family’s ancestors were some of the Pilgrims on the Mayflower

Shakespeare's alright

oh yeah, we were made to read that in 8th grade and in 10th grade

(Night)

they just fucking drown you in the holocaust

I never read Night

basically jooboi goes to auschwitz, papa dies, he gets sad end of story

All I remember was in the 5th Grade I red Hatchet, the 9th Grade we red October Sky, and this year I’m reading the Count of Monte Cristo

Then again, in the 8th grade we Red the Boy in the Striped Pajamas

haha I remember reading Hatchet in the 5th grade

wow actual literature
