Science Dreams Shattered: The Fossil Fiasco
Our storyteller found themselves at an alumni event, where the attendees were discussing which teacher to honor with an ‘inspiring’ award. While everyone seemed to agree on Mr. B, a popular science teacher, our storyteller had a different opinion. They shared a past experience where Mr. B crushed their dreams of becoming a scientist by claiming that fossils were lies and the world was only 4000 years old. Despite their disagreement, Mr. B still won the award, but now our storyteller is being called a ‘crybaby’ and accused of ‘defaming’ the teacher. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
