    143. When MIT & Quaker Oats Tested Radiation on Children
    May 20 2025

    Massachusetts has a shadow on its history, that of the Fernald School in South Boston, an institution designed to provide children with intellectual disabilities skills that they would be able to have a better life. A mission that changed over time, instead of providing skills ans support, the children were treated as lab rats, with some even tested with radiation.

    Sometimes history is depressing, other times it's downright silly, like that time America outright banned sliced bread, much to the chagrin to housewives everywhere!

My absolute favorite!

if you think the storys are enjoyable, her outfits are just as fun. when I was in school, most of the history stories were left out of the books due to not being in the core cirriculum. American learning system, where only the history on the test is important,

most fun learning history ever
