The students over at Oxford High School in Oxford, MA.
are probably not familiar with the Common Core curriculum. I mean, let’s
face it, when you were forced into compulsory education did you really
care THAT much about the curriculum?
However, when I was speaking with a family friend who is a junior
attending the high school, she pointed out something to me that she knew
I would find interesting. A class called “Conspiracy Theories”.
“The class is varied in the topics but one thing we talked about was
the moon landing being a hoax, we had to write a paper explaining why it
was, or wasn’t a hoax”. She also stated that the class does mention
‘The Illuminati’, but “most of the kids only relate it to pop culture”,
and that the class seems to focus on it in that context. She said, “like
Jay-Z and Rihanna being members of the Illuminati.”
I contacted Oxford High School to see if I could
track down the teacher for this class. The teacher,
Aimee Russo, did not
e-mail me back to answer any questions.

I wonder if the teacher is related to Aaron Russo?
