My 8th grade yearbook was titled "It's a Trojan Thang, You Wouldn't Understand". The school's mascot was a Trojan warrior, though by then and certainly by now it would be more appropriate if it were a Trojan condom.
I just remember even then as a kid I thought it was inappropriate that a commemorative book for a supposed learning institution would contain a misspelled word. Nobody in the faculty or administration ever said "as a school we should adhere to proper grammar, particularly with something intended for posterity"?
I guess you could say I did receive an education nevertheless. I was educated at an early age that things always regress to their lowest common denominator. At every school I went to (and I went to several, because they were constantly reimagining the school assignments for "diversity" reasons) I saw that the minoritahs held near total sway over the demeanor of the place. This was mostly because all the white people, both students and teachers, were concerned about being polite, not dominating discussions, keeping opinion to themselves, etc, etc. These are traits that made our civilization possible, but they have become liabilities now that there's a competition of cultures. In the competition of cultures, the loud, brash, and aggressive ones win.
