Lies They Taught You In School

Lies! They're everywhere these days, and they take all sorts of different forms. But perhaps the most difficult to suss out are those that have just become accepted as common knowledge. When everyone just knows something is true, nobody even thinks to question it — not even your teachers sometimes.

You'd be surprised how many things you were taught by society aren't quite true. Do you really know the truth of the first Thanksgiving? Are the rules of grammar real? Did Benjamin Franklin discover electricity when he flew that kite, and did Thomas Edison invent the light bulb to harness it? Turns out you need to use more than 10% of your brain to uncover all the lies they taught you in school.
