American History

None of my teachers from 1-12 were even close to "woke", though my 6th grade teacher did break down and cry on Nov 11, 1963. It was a strange afternoon. The principal, several teachers and even some lunchroom women were all emotional and gathered together in the halls. You could tell which were not Kennedy fans by the looks on their faces but there was universal shock that it could happen in a peacetime America. Ultimately there were only 2-3 teachers throughout my public-school education who had any negative comment about the Viet-Nam fiasco, and they were too afraid to say things out loud. That is until some of them were drafted.
