A history teacher got a cringeworthy crash course in his students’ knowledge of the subject… or lack thereof.
Taking to his TikTok account on Friday, user samuelsleeves posted hilarious-yet-worrisome clips of himself asking his class of Gen Zers various questions on historical figures and events.
And it didn’t go over well, as his caption read, “As a history teacher, I’m concerned.”
“So who did you think Helen Keller was?” he first inquired, as a student quickly responded, “The Nazi guy.”
“He’s like a terrorist,” the student added.
The teacher replied incredulously, “Helen Keller is a Nazi terrorist, a male, is that what you’re telling me right now? Are you thinking of Hitler?”
“Who’s Hitler?” another student chimed in.
Before the teacher could pick his jaw up off the floor, a different Gen Zer shouted, “Helen Keller was the blind and deaf person who was fake — she didn’t exist but everyone believes she was deaf and blind.”
When the teacher simply moved on and asked about Pearl Harbor, someone suggested it’s a bridge.
And as for D-Day? That was obviously a rapper.
Check out his other video, above, where he stumps the kids with the painting of Mona Lisa and a photograph of Mahatma Ghandi.
(No… Ghandi is not Yoda, future of America)
