Interested in anonymity, imaginary ailments, 60s/70's electro-acoustic music (and other music), the books I used to read, movies (mostly high pretension classics, 30s Hollywood classics, and campy b-movies), doing chess puzzles and playing chess at the idiot level, dogs (except tiny ones bred to be carried), alcoholic drinks, birds, colors. Dislikes: short-sleeved collared shirts, the writing in recent tv shows, people who carry extra-wide umbrellas, people who seem to like everything.

Out of nowhere, heard some classic antisemitic stereotypes from a student today, along with a sort of "both sides" gloss of WW2. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Also weirdly, he allowed himself to be set straight.
I have no idea where kids are getting their information, but we should remind ourselves that historical literacy is not acquired automatically or by osmosis. Kids aren't learning much of anything at school, and the #history they're getting—you can't count on it being accurate.
