Grade 6. I had the correct info on a book report (from the World Book Encyclopedia) but my teacher refused to accept them as correct. I "disrupted class" by telling her she was incorrectly giving me a D, and read the relevant passage from the encyclopedia. Sent to the principal, who said "You're right, we'll have your grade changed, but go have a seat out there for a bit and wait so she doesn't feel insulted" One of my truly radicalizing moments about speaking truth to power.
