3. Not so much the education system as ingrained systemic racism nt

4. Home schooled. Look at Bob Jones or A Beka learning materials. I once had to teach that Noah's sons

went separate ways, and that’s why we have different races.

6. They hear something.

It's on Twitter.

Must be true.

They amplify the signal.

This is worse socially, but no less true than a lot of things student so.

I'm forced to evaluate on truthfulness. Not on perceived social value or harm. When I smack down (gently and discretely) a student for being in error about one thing, if they know about something else where the student was equally unaware of the relationship between his/her speech and the facts telling them that "well, it's more socially important" doesn't quite sit well.

It's a science class where we speak truth, not a class where we speak Truth (tm). Although I have had students want more activism ("we need a *black* Ohm's law, one that reflects our truth!" Okay, where's the vomit emoji ...)

7. My guess is that she was home schooled and attend(s)(ed) a "Christian" college.

She is too screwed up to have attended public schools and matriculated with POC.
