Here is Osama Bin Laden. He is the leader of Al-Qaeda, a militia funded by the CIA to fight the Soviet Union. He is from Saudi Arabia, one of America’s key allies. He believed that America overstayed its welcome in the Middle East. After US forces refused to leave Muslim lands, he coordinated attacks on major US financial and government buildings as a way of warning the US that refusing to remove their troops would not go unpunished. This resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent people. He is awful.
Shit, I remember we had a classroom assignment where the teacher made us divide our pages into 4 panels and draw our own versions of the events of 9/11. I don’t really understand the educational value of stuff like that. Bearing in mind, I’m from Northern Ireland, not the US.
You have an understanding teacher, mine would have marked me down for spelling & not putting in that he was Saudi Arabian-born & a member of a wealthy & very connected family that runs a multinational construction company.
Everyone criticizing the little kid for nor knowing he is from Saudi Arabia but don’t bother to notice that a journalist just wrote bin Ladin instead of bin laden
I wish I kept my old schoolbooks. They’d be such a source of amusement now. Mainly for the doodle’s I put on every page because of how bored I was in class. And my random-number guesses for the math questions (six times seven is probably *not* 73).
Oh wow!
My own personal story here… I was studying ‘Legal Studies’ for my HSC back in 2001 ( Australian here).
The day before the 9/11 attack, my teacher handed out photocopies from the internet of the FBI’s ‘Most Wanted List’.
Osama Bin Laden’s face was on that list.
Still gives me shivers.
What’s not funny is that his vision for what happens to the people of the USA seems to be going as planned. Helped along by the evil assholes that make up the current GOP.
As US propaganda goes, this is actually above average quality.
Ur carpet looks like it’s from Afghanistan
He was from Saudi Arabia.
This could have been an entire foreign policy brief written by George W Bush.
Propaganda machine worked, moving on
He’s Saudi though.
Bias teacher!
The “Very good!” does it for me lol
Did you happen to be president 20 years ago?
I’M DOING MY PART!
I was taught he was from Eastasia.

what makes it slightly worse is i didn’t know the inaccuracy until i saw the “saudi arabia*”s

Just needs Borat as the teacher. “HIGH FIVE!!”
Very good!

Isn’t he a Saudi?
That’s crazy he was so photogenic !
Clearly showing some very solid understanding
He’s from Saudi Arabia. That cost you a Very Very Good.
You know humanity is fucked when people are defending osama in the comments.
Good job! If I was grading this…I’d give it a 9 out of 11.

Here is Adolf Hitler.
He is a Nazi from Austria.
He is a real jerk.
The small taped in photo is hilarious
Did you know you had the death note?
+1 credit score
About the amount of nuance you’d expect in an American Education
He was from Saudi Arabia. Teacher fail.

I’m glad this finally got declassified
That’s a good little patriot! Now go talk to the nice Marine recruiter
I’ll give you a 9 out of 11
I picture your teacher as the woman in Starship Troopers who gets super-excited watching her kids squash the cockroaches.
