I honestly neither know nor care if we are learning “fake” stuff in History class. It makes no difference to us, the learners. We aren’t able to tell the difference. For example, in class, if Mr. Gullickson hadn’t told us that all but one of the statements about April 8th, 1974 were made up, almost nobody would have been able to tell which ones were false. I don’t think the facts are what is important in History class, I think it is the process we use when we analyze the facts to draw meaningful conclusions. So, even if we are learning fake stuff, is it really all that important?
Oh, and just for interest, the Aerosmith album was released in April 1975, so I was off by a year. I should have used Queen’s hit “Bohemian Rhapsody” instead.
