Did you go on any weird field trips in school?

We were taken to a taxidermist in 1st grade. Who approved that?

We went to a National Historical Site that consisted mostly of mounds built by various American Indian tribes. At the time, some of the graves were open behind glass, so we could see the skeletons. Some kids said, "They're just Indians." Others realized for the first time that these were human beings, just like us. The deceased have since been reburied with appropriate Native American honors, out of sight of prying eyes. Disturbing trip.

@exexec We went to a local natural history museum in 6th grade and they had shrunken heads on display back then in the late 60s .
