I'm at Old Town Highschool. The history and JROTC programs make sure we know our state's history, yet we still got yee yee Confederate wannabes. Like guys the McRib has been around longer than the confeferacy

Old Town High is so weird. Left leaning teachers, but a very strong right wing student base...at least when I was there. Also surprisingly less diverse than Orono. The Indian Island kids mostly go to Orono

Granparents aren’t here to slap them around for it. Same reason Trump convinced so many boomers to link up alongside literal Nazi’s - their dad’s who fought in the war couldn’t call them out on it. Or at least that’s how I feel.
