@TheRealEricLester I’m assuming the American schools use a disproportionate amount of time teaching the students about whales, and that The Onion is making fun of this fact. Can’t really say that is the case in Sweden where I live, but we did however learn about dinosaurs over and over again instead.

I think that Willie the Whale should teach our youth to speak whalese for a better cross-species understanding. we need to teach them that what happened to Moby Dick wasn’t our fault…

This would be funny if it were a “funny cuz it’s true” satire, but it’s not true. When I was in elementary school, we learned a shitload about butterflies; as if a child would have no hope for success in life if they didn’t know what a chrysalis was.

It’s more important to learn about extinct animals, such as dinosaurs.
Increase the budget for that and then decrease the whale budget.
