5 Of The Biggest Lies We Were Taught In School

School is a place where children go to learn and eventually grow into knowledgeable and mature adults. When children begin school, they take nearly everything the teacher says at face value. As they grow older, they may begin to question what is being taught to them but by then, some of the most common lies that students are told have already seeped in. For example, as children, we celebrate events like Thanksgiving at school by dressing up as pilgrims or Indians to celebrate the peaceful union of the two groups. But as we grow older, we discover that this so-called peaceful feast between the pilgrims and the Indians was more like a slaughter. Sometimes it can be shocking to learn how big a gap there is between what we are taught in school and what really happened. Below is a list of eleven of the biggest lies that you were probably taught in school. Even today, nearly all of these lies are continuing to be taught to children.
