From a conversation I had yesterday it seems that I never wrote the following down, so now I will do it for sure. It might also have been a slight oversight in tagging, but if so I have unravelled some new evidence that is astonishing and will be given in the end of this posting.
It has everything to do with that Air Wolf entertainment that goes by the name of Medieval Times. And also with the American School system.
This started several weeks ago when I meet one of the participants in the splendid entertainment that was the victory for the red knight that I wrote about here. For lazy people: When we went to Medieval Times.
She is American and told me that she had last been to MT when she was 14 years old and that she had gone there with here class in school, a normal school, no tinfoil religious institution, but a regular American school. They went to MT since they at that time where studying Knights and the middle ages in history class! This I took as a joke until she assured me that it was all true. I laughed of course. But on the inside I was screaming in horror. What else could you expect from the schools? Maybe when studying math and economics they could use the terrible SMS-loans as examples of a "normal" and quite acceptable way of finance or when studying the Neolithic age there are so many films to choose from to look at as absolute prof of how life looked "when man and dinosaur walked the earth together". Flintstones - the documentary.
Anyway I was relating this story to my friend who actually was the reason for me to go to Medieval Times in the first place. And then he confirmed that he had also been to 'the Times' with his school, but this time it was the minimally more acceptable History Club, an after school activity for those interested in history. Which tells us that this is not a unique event perpetrated by a single deranged teacher.
