My roommate's 7 Yr old came home from school wearing red , white, and blue.
Out of curiosity, I asked her- Did she learn anything about 9/11 today?
She said yes, that her teacher told her about the planes that crashed into the buildings and blew up,
because they ran out of gas.
(Unbelievable.)
I tried to talk to my roommate about these completely made up facts that were "taught" to her daughter ,
` but, she said they "probably told the kids this because they are too young to understand what happened."
I then asked her -Did she think that it would be too hard for a child to understand that bad people did 9/11 on purpose?
She said no, but, that she's not really bothered by what the teacher said.
I further asked- Did she know what Pearl Harbor was?
She said yes, but that she didn't understand it until she was in high school.
I said OK, but, when you were in school, did any of your teachers ever tell you that Pearl Harbor was a series of boating accidents?
She said no.
I told her that I thought the teacher was wrong to give the kids false information.
Unfortunately, she didn't want to talk about it beyond that.
This is another sad example of what's going on in our education system. UGGGGhhhhh!!!!
Not only is the child told a lie, the lie is the DIRECT OPPOSITE of what happened.
...which is why I think we have a bit of foolery going on here...with dear teacher trying to be ironically witty and urbane...and failing miserably, in my estimation...
...because I refuse to believe that anyone can think he/she could get away with such a thing without the escape route of ‘I was only joking...’
...btw, your tagline is interesting...’let them hate while they fear...’? or am I missing something...?
If I were her Mom I would. My impression was that she had been taught to reflexivly blame US for everything from killing Indians to oppressing people and causing wars.
Thanks for sharing this lesson of the BS our kids are being fed in schools.
It has always been my understanding that the plethora of jet fuel is what led to the compromising of the steel girders, bringing the towers down.
Anyone else believe this is the case or could those buildings collapse from a (huge) explosion and a normal fire (wo jetfuel)?
I only know what I read, which is mostly lies, and appreciate any informed responses.
Thanks in advance.
Nobody told you to just “let him go, he’s on a roll” ?
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
I hope this parent sent a letter to the teacher AND the principal asking her to clarify her statements that the planes “ran out of gas”
Mussolini tried it and said it didn't help.
Wait....you mean airline jets don’t fuel up at the local WaWa ?
I was going to mention that igornamous part of the story....until I saw your post...
If the planes were out of gas, then there would have been no explosion when they impacted. THAT was what burned.
I can’t believe I saw something similar.

I laughed.
Your Story is Beautiful.
I KNEW in my heart that the left would suppress the story and drop it down the Memory Hole, so I saved EVERYTHING. ( I even have the VHS videotape of The Concert For New York) I feel like Winston in 1984, saving the newspaper clippings he was supposed to destroy.
My Family did the very same thing. Newspaper Headings the Works, in fact, we still do that.
Thank You!
(((HUGS))))
Maybe next Super Girl teacher can find out who shot J.R.
I wonder that as well.
...btw, your tagline is interesting...let them hate while they fear...? or am I missing something...?
‘Let them hate, so long as they fear.’
