Today, in history class I was called "ignorant" and "inconsiderate" because I referred to Stalin as a "he". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my teacher assigned us teams in a class debate. I landed on the team that had to argue the obviously wrong point of view. When I finished, my teacher told me and the entire class how much I disturbed her, and how I reminded her of Hitler and Napoleon. FML
Today in class I accidentally called my teacher very old and almost dead. As we were discussing a book I said that the book character is very old and close to death since it fitted to the context. Turns out this character is one year younger than my teacher and she wasn't amused. FML
Today, I was teaching a class when a student pointed out that I'd used the wrong "your/you're" while writing on the board. FML
Today, a parent of one of the students I teach called me to complain that I was teaching her child "lies" and "fairytales". I was teaching them about the Holocaust. FML
Today, I tried to explain to my history teacher why Woodrow Wilson would not have called the Great War "World War 1" as she constantly claims. I was sent to the office for my insubordination. FML
Today, I was once again berated by an idiotic parent. I’ve been called a filthy liberal, a groomer, and had my job threatened several times. All of this because I was teaching second graders about pronouns. You know, the part of English grammar that replaces a noun. Nothing political at all. FML
Today, my teacher called me "stupid and ignorant" for referring to myself as Asian. I'm from Pakistan. Pakistan is in Asia. FML
Today, as I went into my calculus class, the teacher announced that someone had received a negative grade on the test we were getting back. I laughed and said, "Which f*cker managed to get a negative?" Turns out I'm the dumbass. FML
Today, I had to explain to my teacher that Czechoslovakia is no longer a country. She kicked me out of class when she found out I was right. FML
Today, I was called to solve a problem question at the start of a lecture. I stupidly went up to the board before telling the lecturer in front of 300+ students that I had no Idea what he had been doing the whole week. The lecturer made a sneery comment about why some of us are blockheads. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Op I can relate, I was told to apologize to an African foreign exchange student because I'm white. They denied that I most of my family lived in the north and my other family came to America after WWI.

That's just wrong. Who comes up with these things and think they're justified to say this

So afraid to be seen as racist that the school was being incredibly racist.

Honestly, it's getting ridiculous, I was told I was politically incorrect for referring to people as "sir" and "ma'am". Transgender, fine, but these made up genders, bigender, agender, genderfluid, and having to ask people "what pronouns do you prefer?" is just getting way too far.

I'm all for supporting people's identities, but there comes a point where it feels people are doing it to be "special snowflakes".

People say that it's scientifically linked that misgendering a trans person can cause them to commit suicide. It's bullshit. Everyone decides how to react to things, commiting suicide is a choice.

Did they want you to say 'it' because he was a bad guy?
