April 19th the day the first shots of the American revolution occurred. Ironically it was over the British trying to enforce gun confiscation (and gunpowder confiscation)
I wonder if schools even teach this anymore. They certainly wouldn't show this schoolhouse rock video, because it has cartoon guns and portrayed in a good light, and also the word God in it (as in God bless America)

Re: Anniversary of the "shot heard round the world"
I saw a meme recently that said
Clearly, with 78+% of US adults taking at least one dose of the gene juice, this is no longer taught.If you trust the government, your history teacher didn't do his job.
So far (Oct 2022), 263 million Americans have received at least one dose of a vaccine—78.6% of the population.

You mean that you, like me, did not participate in taking an experimental Jonestown concoction labeled as a vaccine.
