There’s one scene in that movie, that stuck with me, and shows how the rot was starting in the schools even then:
The teacher (who was kinda cute), told her students that when they celebrated The Bicentenntial, they were celebrating slave owners who didn’t want to pay their taxes.
Really? I overlooked that part. The film itself was made in 1993 so maybe by that time that line of malarkey was more common.
But if any of my teachers in that era thought that - they kept it to themselves.
