I’m 20 years old now, but this happened back when I was 18. I took an art class. I ain’t gonna pretend like I was a good student. I wasn’t involved, hated my life, wanted to die, cheated on some of my assignments and didn’t do the rest. One of the things that pushed me to drop the class, was the fact that they were pushing horrible propaganda. We were shown NAKED little girls and they framed it as art. The artist was some southern woman who was a feminist. She took pictures of her own daughters naked. I don’t remember her name, nor do I wish to look it up. The school, lenoir community college, approved of this. At that time, I just wanted to get it out of my head, but I wish I publicly said something.

I was remembering my time there and those unfortunate images popped back up in my head. I told my dad and he immediately called up a family member who works there. She was pretty resistant to the government’s efforts to jab her and refused a lot of the bad treatment and she almost took that to the grave with her. I thought she would’ve seen through the bullshit, but she drank all their kool aid. She said that it’s understandable that I’d be uncomfortable, but “you sometimes have to go in with an open mind”. I am disgusted.
