I got on my sixth grade history teacher's shitlist for disputing the idea that "rivers naturally flow south".

This happened to me too. They called my parents in and after the situation was explained they demanded the retarded teacher to be fired. Then took me for ice cream.
My father always told me I should only bend my knee before God and no other being. We are all equal and I should always question authority figures.
Today my critical and independent way of thinking is regarded as an attitude problem my father is very proud of.

This does seem a little unlikely, but I have had a teacher tell me before that ancient romans thought that tomatoes were evil. Which is complete bullshit because tomatoes are from the americas. I totally believe that out in the boons somewhere this could happen.

Same thing happened to me when I said the male platypus was venomous in third grade.

The idea of it, makes a strong point. Too many times we have been taught the best path to take is the one with the least resistance. Often this is not the case at all. We all just need a healthy dose of discernment.
