Friend told me that teacher followed neutral curriculum, but every five 5 minutes there was smugly inside joke about "rape culture" or "white man bad". Kind of like bad standup performance.

Try to bring up something factually correct like: cristian culture in 19th century UK abolished slavery worldwide, and you would get harassed and kicked out of school!

And you do not have to take my word on that, they proudly announce their values on website!

Correction:

> cristian culture in 19th century UK

(mostly) got rid of (its own sector of) the worldwide slavery system created by... Christian culture in 15th century what-is-now UK, among other predominantly Christian countries.

These are the sorts of things that are easy to say but just completely don’t hold water in any serious university setting. If you made this argument in a paper and properly cited sources and formed reasonable arguments based on the historical record I’m quite certain any historian, even a woke leftist atheist one, would happily give good marks.
