propaganda in the guise of education (beverage mention)
The more I remember about the one-credit health class I took in community college, the more it seems like it was just a toxic cultural norms class with no actual value
the teacher specifically read out my answer (anonymized, admittedly) to a question about consumption of caffeinated sodas for the specific purpose of mocking it and that was probably one of the least problematic moments I can remember from the whole thing

@Alyx no idea
I'd say "I'm glad I was homeschooled" but I'm not sure how much less authoritarian my homeschooling actually was than school would have been
(I /am/ glad I was homeschooled, but mostly because it means I experienced mathematics as something that made sense and not an arcane series of hyperspecific operations to be performed at obscure times for a grade)
