@Jazzy_Butts i have a ton of controversial stories, most in school or college, not sure if that constitutes drama you're interested in
@Jazzy_Butts my bad got busy. plenty i can think of but a recent one was getting suspended from college
i was going to a private liberal arts school to mess around with the humanities. polisci, history, anthro was what i've been studying for years already & teachers often called me a polemicist at different schools. butt heads a lot in the Political Science courses. however, it was in a 'history of europe' course that i got nailed.
skipping minor arguments in there for typing's sake we inevitably got to the history of jewry in europe. the polish professor had made a point asserting they were a common scapegoat for europeans' insecurity - unwillingness to take personal responsibility.
i contested, arguing this overlooks a great deal of the story. the professor and i went back and forth over examples of incidents as far back as 60 AD to as recent as Weimar, a redheaded kid chimed in by saying he was highly offended that the professor was even allowing this conversation to occur. he claimed there was no basis in fact or history to support it, that it was a delusion. this dragged on to a good half hour until the professor said class was dismissed. the professor, myself, the redhead, and the redhead's friend stayed behind. we continued discussing, the redhead then said he was offended because he himself is Jewish and the teacher is likewise. he remarked that if i'm so confident in what i'm saying, prove it.
so, later in the day, i offhandedly but wrote up a 3,000 word essay with sources and all, emailed it to the aforementioned. turned into another back & forth with the professor, the redhead on the otherhand decided he was apalled and sent it to the Dean of the college, saying he felt intimidated. threatening to sue if i weren't expelled. the board of inclusion did some investigating to determine the severity of the issue. a campus restraining order was placed to keep me out of the same building as him due to his saying he was paranoid i'd attack him for his background (weird leap). about a week after the mes, security came to my room to question me, he wrote a letter saying he was having trouble sleeping knowing i'm a student at the same university.
this blew up into an impromtu 'class court' hearing over a Zoom call; board of inclusion as the Jury and several faculty as Judge. redhead as complaintant, his best friend as witness, and me as defendant. went on for 6 whole hours -in 2 parts. i streamed the entire thing in my server to my friends bc it was ridiculously funny. i had 3 charges against me / 1 - ahistorical or dishonest student 2 - disruptive 3 - source of harassment. i argued the first 2 charges away, getting former & current professors to comment on my conduct, the consensus was that i was 'intelligent with unfortunate interests'. the professor i had argued with verbatim commented 'gifted but misguided'.
the third charge was immovable because according to the student handbook, harassment lies upon how someone else feels, notwithstanding intention or actual harassing occuring. so, i was slapped with a suspension for four months under the condition that i take a correctional class on how to be more tolerant with my work and only use sources approved by the college.
long winded but that's the short version lol

@rats @Jazzy_Butts many such cases indeed yes, i had encountered that exact phrase throughout middle school and high school. the high school memories are fun in their own right, i still have presentations and papers from 11th grade to first term of college saved on a flashdrive. i had a particular fascination with racial anthropology and atypical worldviews so i wasn't shocked ofc
@doorroo @Jazzy_Butts im so underread with history that it comes off so impressive to me when someone can just spout it like this
makes sense that you hopped around a lot of diff classes being a gadfly lol but it seems like u already had an aptitude for it
its one of those things that i always had trouble getting it to stick in my brain but its easier as i get older and have stuff from like literature + art history to stick historical context to lol

@rats @Jazzy_Butts i'm incredibly passionate about history. not but some months ago i wrote lengthy essays for small groups i ran into online just for fun and i did mini lectures at farms and antique stores in the last state i lived.
it sticks in my head if i find it speaking to my childish traits. as a kid my favourite literature & media revolved around the Wild West, mainly Clint Eastwood as cliché as that is. watched chuck connors with my great grandma. my favourite film was Der Untergang. that sort of thing. English Lit and History of every type (excluding Oriental and Latin American history) were my top scores. computer science & coding was almost my fav but i couldn't get the same thrill
