Most liberal teachers I met were of the fair kind who wanted you to think, did some propaganda, but didn't get all bent out of shape if you didn't chose their side like they do now.

I had one in 1970 who would fit right in with today's flaming moonbats. The biggest lasting impression she left on me was getting me interested in urban legends. She taught most of them at that time as fact, being there was no easy way to debunk them and little resources to do such. The main ones were the kids who took acid and stared at the sun causing them to go blind, beehive hairdos becoming a nest for spiders, and the using ice as air conditioning desiccating people to their deaths. That last one should have made for some interesting NASCAR races as they used such a system for a while.

I wish I knew then what I knew now. I would have had her in tears.

My favorite 60's-70's urban legend was the one about the hippie chick who stuffed and cooked her neighbors baby in an oven because she mistook it for a turkey while stoned on LSD .

When you're 12 and listening to older kids telling stories around a campfire, it's hard not to believe it

Your teacher had no such excuse.
