Only thing I, as a European, know about MLK is that "I have a dream" speech and that he has something to do with rights for black people in America. My memory stops there.

Funny enough, in Catholic religion class I learned more interesting things about history than in history class itself. My teacher made sure we knew about other religions, how all of them are connected, how they developed, what some did while others went crusading, etc. Best teacher I’ve ever had.

Unless this is a joke and I'm just being dense, I believe Natanox was talking about Martin Luther, and not Dr. Martin Luther King Jr (MLK).

I asked my teacher why we were so christianity-centric in the class, we literally never talked about things like Shintoism, Islam and more. She then loudly proclaimed to the class that I "wanted to have an extra (!) block about FOREIGN religions" (of course causing 90% of the class to scream at me - bullying was rampant there anyway). She then smiled at me in the most fucking dense way possible to basically say "see, nobody wants that" and from then on ignored all my protests and just left, ignorantly smiling like the idiot she was.

We proceeded to not learn anything about them, therefore the only influence we had (since it was the countryside) were the news talking about islamic terrorists.

Also same about MLK of course. He existed and he had a dream, end of history.
