The Official Chronicle Curriculum Guide 2: Electric Boogaloo
It’s like the first one, but worse!
March 22, 2023
Alright you asked for it, so here it is (for the second time): the Official Chronicle Curriculum guide. But I know a lot of you are sitting there saying, “Georgia, didn’t you do this very same article last year?” And to that I’ll say, shut up, nobody cares. But now, you’re saying, “Georgia, you didn’t take all of these classes, how could you possibly know what you’re talking about?” And to that I’ll say: wasn’t America, our great nation, founded on ill-informed opinions? And also, shut up, nobody cares.
