I'll go as far as saying it's impossible he learned that in an American School.
I won't. While it's unlikely this has ever been taught in an American
public school, it could very well have been taught in a private one. there are certain curriculae that must be met, ...outside of that, ...especially in a private school... anything can be taught, and any subject delved into with greater depth & scope than may exist elsewhere.
I can tell you the subject matter, the depth, scope, and general attitudes differ from one school to the next.
Kids are not taught the same things in Jarvis Collegiate that they are in Upper Canada College. Teachers & curriculae will often focus on technical or vocational courses in one area, while another school may focus more heavily on academia.
It's only been in the 90's that this became a question and only very few people have brought it up. It was easy to call BS on that claim from Samson.
You're kidding yourself Hugo. It may have only been since the 90's that you first got wind of it, ...but people have been discussing this for years. Maybe not in YOUR social milieu.
I wish he had not said it because as I said, the actual topic is interesting and really does deserve debate and looking into. It is fascinating. I love America and consider myself a patriot. I want the best for America and I always debate with that in mind. As such I'm always interested in the truth. I honestly believe the absolute truth will... well, I guess set us free... whatever, I persue the truth but have an absolute faith in America.
I also believe that we can easily withstand errors and learn from them to become stronger. I really believe that's a hidden design by the founding fathers. That we may, as a society, face wrongs and right them through the process designed and come out all the better. But it requires that we be willing to scrutinize and be a patriot simulationsly.
It also requires the ability to truly see yourselves and what you have become. That's something many if not most Americans are unable to do... no matter how willing they may be. The lies are too far ingrained, and to erase the program, and input a more accurate set of data would be too traumatic. Faced with the truth, most would prefer to ignore it or pretend that the truth was the lie. The truth poses too much of a threat to their ordered existence and the realization that something you knew to be true was in fact a lie... leaves too much room to question EVERYTHING they know to be true, or that they hold dear. It's too much of a mind fvck for most.
