      PUT YOUR TIN FOIL HATS ON, we are about to go on a VERY wild ride. I haven't been this excited since I first found out about the incredibly strange world of quicksand porn.

      Earlier today, due to looking something else up, I discovered that the official state folk dance of Illinois is SQUARE DANCE. "That's weird! We are not the South!" I thought. So I went to Wikipedia.

      Turns out, square dance is the official state dance of like, almost every state that has an official state dance. VERY STRANGE. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._state_dances …

      A friend on my Facebook thread about this clicked some link on that page and discovered that there was a whole thing where these people were desperate to make square dance the official dance of the United States. But congress was like "Nah, we'll pass"

      So they went around to all the states and convinced many of them to make square dancing their official dance. IN A LITERAL #DANCEPIRACY TO MAKE SQUARE DANCING THE DEFAULT OFFICIAL DANCE OF THE UNITED STATES.

      And then this one. With this sentence in it. "Peterson acknowledges that modern square dancing is really just a few decades old, the invention of a certain Dr. Pappy Shaw (aided by the financial help of Henry Ford) back in the ’40s."https://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/news/article/13010248/the-great-square-dance-conspiracy …

      HE DID. And, as it turns out, the whole reason for him funding all this square dancing was in order to TAKE DOWN JAZZ, both because black people and Jewish people.https://jalopnik.com/henry-ford-plotted-to-destroy-black-jewish-jazz-with-c-1788536315 …

      NOT ONLY THAT, but his weird anti-semitic racist plot to foist squaredancing upon the country is the whole reason for square dancing in gym class. http://www.save-squaredancing.com/history.htm pic.twitter.com/ONEMWpAEHj

          Ha! I liked it too, because you didn't have to change during square dancing week. And I think it's totally fine to like it, just that the history is real f-d up. As is the history of... most things.

          It’s weird how they dump all the miscellaneous “you’ll need this in life so you’re learning it this week” on gym class. Dancing, bowling, swimming, sex ed, drugs/alc. Rename Gym class to Life class
