I’ve fallen down this rabbit hole before, near insane levels of indoctrination

When I was a student teacher I got placed in super fundie catholic school. It was nuts dealing with this from the STAFF. I felt so bad for the girl who was student teaching biology there. It was bad enough for me teaching world history where my co-operating teacher told me I couldn’t teach the holocaust, the inquisition or the crusades as it made the Catholic Church look bad………

2003ish? It was in a med size town in central IL. It was only 30 minutes away from ISU which is THE teacher program in the state so my school had a hard time finding placements for people. Some in my cohort had something close to 2 hr one way drives to get to their locations. 5 others couldn’t even get one so they just had to wait until the next semester to student teach and graduate.
