Reply to comment by Superior91 in TIFU by teaching survival skills to a church group [UPDATE] by Missing411_hopenot

Texas would like a word with you. You are not supposed to teach critical thinking because kids should listen to their parents and not think critically. I'm not making this up.

Little-me got in trouble for learning theories about how the moon came to exist other than "God made it in an instant with a thought!"

So grateful my parents couldn't afford private school! Yay for free public education!

I didn't get to learn basic facts about the world around me until school, because everything was god this and bible that. Didn't dare to learn about humanoid evolution until after my mom died, was terrified of saying the wrong thing and setting off another screaming tantrum about how monkeys in the zoo don't evolve into people.
