Lies Your Other American History Teachers Told You, Friday
There was a movie queued up for class today. Because it was just one of those days where a movie seemed to be the best option.
"An easy day this week, don't worry, though. Next week we'll get back into the discussions," Tony promised.
"But for now, Tony and I are a little tired of listening to ourselves talk, and the Watergate scandal had a lot of names to keep track of," Steve said. "A movie makes it easier to understand." He frowned. "Though why no one noticed that naming something 'Committee to Re-elect the President' and not realizing it spelled out CREEP is beyond me."
"I maintain someone did realize and just went with it," Tony chimed in. Because c'mon. C'mon.
"Well, President Nixon did have a bit of an aura about him," Steve admitted, "and when you have to say 'I am not a crook,' the chances of that actually being true are...negligible."
Tony nodded along with that. "So, enjoy the movie. And if you want to get extra credit, try catching a showing of The Post this weekend."
"I'm really looking forward to seeing it," Steve said earnestly. "Now, more than ever, we need to be reminded that there are still good people doing their jobs."
