I graduated in 1990.
In elementary school we had:
1 fat kid. His name was Sherman and he wasn’t really that fat either.
No kids with peanut allergies.
Never heard of autism
A few kids that were mentally handicapped. By that I mean could not be in a regular class.
1 kid with asthma
In high school we had:
2 fat kids.
No one with peanut allergies
Still never heard of autism
1 kid we all knew was gay but didn’t give a shit.
No one was on any meds unless they had type 1 diabetes and I think that was one girl.

Graduated HS in 1970.

We had about 10 fatfuks in the entire graduating class of around 450. Half of them played football.

====

The other question to ask is “How many retards in your class?”. I am talking about actual mental retardation … not Dems, Libs, and Nigs. Our HS had a “Special Needs Class”. Again … no more than 10 kids!!!

Today? It seems ( I don’t have facts) that the MAJORITY of teens today are fatfuk retards.

====

Oh, one last thing. How many faggots in your high school? In mine, about zero … or, at least not one dicksucker EVER admitted to it. Which is just how it ought to be. The only faggots I ever saw was a a bundle of sticks or twigs bound together as fuel.

Grade school in the 50s and graduated HS in 62.

There were no kids with any of the issues on that list.

In HS I remember at least one kid couldn’t do even one pull up, he was a bit overweight but not obese, obesity which is so common today just didn’t exist in school back then.

Through all grade school and the first three years of HS there were no black kids, only in my last year of HS there was one guy and one girl (brother and sister, not sure) that were black. Everyone called the black kid Buckwheat and he had no problem with being call that. There were no racial issues in school, everyone got along just fine with the black kid.

huh-started first grade in 1970, all us kids walked to school, up hill both ways in raging blizzards!

Peanut butter & jelly sandwitches were staples, the school lunch even served them with a bowl of hot tomato soup, mmm; gluten-WTF was that, clean your plate or you’ll get a smack on the back of your head! (…and still the farmers pigs ate well)

The little 5 room school house had 1st, 2nd & 3rd grade and one room for the retarded kids (maybe they were the autistics eh?)

Never heard the word transgender…they were fucking Queers and Fagots damnit! There was only one kid we harrased as a fag because he never wanted to play, he just hung around with the girls playing dollies…what a fag man.

Never saw a black kid in real life until I got to the regional HS/Voke and then it was just one kid.

My parents were doing genealogy in retirement. Dad had his DNA done and found some link to Scandinavia and pronounced we were of Viking decent. My son who was about 6 at the time asked who we were related to. I told him “Hagar the Horrible”. That stuck until he was reading the comics a few years later.

My daughter took a doll with her into the pool when she was about 4. Screwed up one of its eyeballs. We called the doll “Chuckie” going forward. It was not until she was in college that she figured out why.

Graduated HS in 1979, in the shithole known as Filthadelphia (well, while it was still a liveable shithole). Knew nobody with peanut allergies, nobody with gluten sensitivity, hadn’t even heard of autism, and no transgender lunatics (though perhaps a couple of gays). Yes, this was in a major east coast shithole.

Class of 1980 in a 50/50 split fully integrated high school in Louisiana.

A couple of pregnant girls got shipped off out of state. A few pot heads. No allergies, fatties or anything else for that matter. Blacks and whites mostly got along despite 2 full blown police interrupted race riots in 77 and 78 due to the school allowing some Jesse Jackson like black speaker in for Black history that caused the whites to get up in the middle of the lecture and leave. A tense week or so later and stuff was back to normal.

I feel it was the start of all the shit were .gov started meddling in a bad way with race relations.

I went to an all white elementary school in the 60’s. Nobody locked their doors at night and everyone left their keys in the car. If you acted up at school, the principal would bust your butt and your Dad would give you a “booster” when you got home because you embarrassed him in public. 90% of kids lived in a 2-parent household with Mom who kept house and Dad who worked full time+.

I was in Georgia in elementary school in the late 60’s early 70’s. I went to like 3 different elementary schools due to “busing” I guess as things started to get redistricted… I don’t remember being in school with any blacks then. Went from there to northern VA (Fairfax) which was lily white, then into Louisiana for high school which at that point was fully integrated.

The above is my memory of the times as well. Few divorced households if any.

We had truly neighborhood elementary schools and of course, all the blacks lived in the same part of town. By the time I got to Jr. high, they had closed the black Jr. & Sr. high schools so we all went to the same one. I was in honors classes in Jr. high and never had a class, other than gym with any black kids. We moved to a small town before my sophomore year and that is when I first had black kids in most of my classes. For some reason, none of them were in Geometry, Algebra II or III, Trigonometry, Chemistry or Physics. 😉

I went from one of the best school systems at the time in Fairfax to Louisiana in the middle of 8th grade. I was also in the honors class in 9th grade when the first race riot occurred in high school. It started during homeroom when the upper classmen were in the auditorium for the black history talk. My homeroom was in the library which was a detached building in the school grounds. Rioting blacks breached the library door and I lead the home room out the windows of the library. There was a girl in my home room who’s brother (Moose, yeah played football and was big as a moose) was a senior. He was walking by with all the mayhem going on outside looked at us and said, it looks like y’all could use a ride out of here. Walked to the parking lot with him and the rioting seas parted as he walked through. It was kind of funny.

In my sophomore year, they were building a new campus for us to be ready for my junior year. Right before finals, I was sitting at the bus stop with a neighbor and his mom came out and said no school for you today. Went inside to see the news as the entire campus was engulfed in flames. Probably torched for insurance but they tried to pin it on a senior.

Graduated HS in 77. Was bused one year(75) to a majority black HS in Montgomery AL, dad going to AF War College. Had zero problems. I played on the football team, but I am average size. I could not believe it when the coaches checked our report cards and gave out swats for bad grades. I had good grades so no swats for me. Brothers used to look at my papers during tests and I assisted as I considered all classes, except for math and science, a joke. 76 and 77 Midwestern 99% white high school with zero of the issues listed. Only thing we had was the special ed kids on the small yellow bus. You never bothered the kids just told your friends they needed to start riding the bus when they did something stupid. It was a running joke for two years. If you made jokes like that now, even to just your friends, you would probably be expelled. Was it immature of us, of course it was but that’s what we were immature kids. We also had muscle cars (72 Mach 1 351 Cleveland) which I bought by working at a bakery. It’s a miracle we did not kill ourselves because we would take our cars out to narrow country roads, usually at night, and see what they could do! Graduated went to college and drank a lot of beer because that is what you did in college in the 70s and 80s.

To be truthful and transparent, I went to school in the 70’s and I myself have always had allergies to most nuts but peanuts was, and still is, the worst. A 1 pound jar of peanut butter is enough to kill me 50 times over. I grew out of a protein allergy to eggs eventually, but at somewhere between age 1 and 2 I almost died from the anaphylactic shock and swelling of the throat – enough to almost suffocate -from consuming 1 egg. But the peanut allergy always remained; I was and still am that 1st kid on this list. Bad genes maybe? Dunno.

But the other 3 items on the list were 100% non-existent. I do recall one and only kid from grade 6 who was obese, but he also broke the hospital record as a 12+ lb newborn.

I had to do a new post since I allowed time to elapse. I’m not sure about the peanut allergy thing, and I’m not sure about a few of the others, since they weren’t actually a thing yet. When I was in junior high, we did have special Ed for those certain people who needed that. You know, the short bus people. But I don’t think most of these ‘things’ were even a thing yet. I don’t mind people knowing my age, but I don’t like giving time-frames. So grade school from around let’s say 1967-1973 or 74 or thereabouts, then junior high from around 1975 or 76. Nah, that’s not it and my brain is stuck this morning. Anyway, graduated high school very late 70s. I didn’t like school. I already knew college wasn’t of any interest to me. Money was. Women were, nice cars were. I’ve covered some of this before. Kids were mostly just kids learning how to live in the world. When I was in grammar school we had one diabetic that I know of. I can’t remember his first name. We did have a couple of little snivelly bitches that remind me of Merrick Garland in grammar school. The kind of kid that always felt he had to tattle on everyone and always got picked on when the teacher wasn’t around. Just not thoroughly enough.

Social engineering started long before that. I remember 4th grade, approximately 1970, being taught situational ethics. They didn’t call it that, but the one example I remember clearly is definitely that… Roughly, too many people in a lifeboat… Doctor, old person, young person, etc. The question to answer was, who should be expelled from the lifeboat, or maybe should be encouraged to expell self – Far too long ago to remember other than the basic premise. Basically, which human being is expendable in the lifeboat situation so the worthwhile humans could be saved.

Graduated in 1987.
No one had a peanut allergy and we didn’t know what gluten was.
No one knew what autism was. If someone had said they were autistic, I’d think they were retarded and rode the short bus. We definitely had a few retards.
Transgender is another word for gay or fag. We had a couple of gays but didn’t give a shit. Didn’t know any dikes.

Graduated in 74. Small northern town in WI. Lily white area, still is. None of the stuff listed here, though drinking was common and drugs already bad. First black people I ever met was in the Coast Guard right after graduation in NJ.

You know, the teachers always complained that I stared out the window too much and didn’t pay attention.

Now they diagnose you as “on the spectrum” and try to drug you.

Having been around a lot of kids, I must say that those kids who “stared out the window too much & didn’t pay attention” were my ABSOLUTE favorite kind of kids.

They weren’t paying attention because they were creating complex worlds in their minds. Something that most “good students” didn’t have the ability to do.

I stared out the window because I was bored AF. I learned fast and had no patience for the teachers catering to the slow ones.

Went to school mostly in the 80’s.

Food allergies were extremely rare. I knew of ONE, and it was to strawberries.

Asthma and environmental allergies were fairly common though.

Autism was rare and undiagnosed. It existed but was not common or severe.

Trans-sexualism was nonexistent. Gays/lesbians existed as they probably always have, but very few in number.

I blame vaccines, processed food and pollution for food allergies and autism. Trans is mostly a social cult / societal illness, but to the extent anything chemical is driving it, plasticizing chemicals that mimic hormones are likely involved.

We only had one fag in school and it was the kid with the ball. “Smear the queer” we called it.

Graduated ’67. None of the above-no concept of any of them. USA is being swept away . I bailed to live in the country. Glad I did. Cities are detrimental to your health, both mental and physical. Sick psychos live in cities/suburbs.
