because 90% of the things I've read about him mentioned this

I would imagine, yeah. It makes for good reading.

Lagggggggg

Most history classes teach Howard Zinn.

Doesn't make Howard Zinn correct.

Yet most people believe what Howard Zinn said.

And a lot of academia regard him as correct simply because it's chic.

I mean you might be correct

I know they attempted this with alan turing

portraying him as some autistic savant

It's fashionable to do so.

and it wasn't true

He was quite social and well liked

I just want to see the source you have refuting the common story

because with Turing the difference is 90% of things you read don't mention him as some autistic fuck but rather a well liked and social individual

with Einstein it's the opposite

Like you could read a cursory biography of his early life. He had exceptional grades and was an autodidact.

Find it anywhere basically.

But you won't find claims that his teachers thought he was an idiot anywhere credible.

long tangent

I'll trust you since it does sound fishy

and I know for alan turing this was attempted but failed to gain traction

Are you dumb he literally got expelled for his behaviour
He wouldve been sent there for that

You're asking me to prove a negative rather than a positive, that something is untrue. You could just read a biography to disprove it yourself.

Nowadays they give you IEP (special ed) for getting in too many fights

Not necessarily grades

So yeah it's not hard to get sent to special ed

you can get an IEP for not doing homework

I've seen it happen to my friends

I was never talking about grades

What was he expelled for?

Getting him into that

Behaviour

What behavior?

You get expelled for specific incidents usually.

What else would you get expelled for

You don't do homework and the teachers try to get you diagnosed for ADHD or autism (minnesota public schools, multiple people, friends, my sibling)

Lnal

So what did he do?

You don't know?

At what age was he expelled?
