The elusive “Mandela Effect” has surprised and intrigued humanity for the duration of living memory. From the Berenstain Bears, to the monopoly man’s monocle, to whatever the hell a Nelson Mandela is, this bizarre occurrence has been the cause of conspiracy theories of alternate universes for decades.

While many of the godless, scientific youth at LACES will scoff at this odd effect and reason it up to a lapse in judgment, recent rumors of a retired “Mr. Jed Laderman” have begun to  fill students’ minds with doubt, and hearts with fear. With most of the older students at the school having keen, fond memories of the past physics teacher, it is with a heavy heart that we have to say that nobody of his name or title has ever existed at LACES. 

So strong is this false memory that Highschool students will consistently swear on their lives on the matter of his existence, and become frankly spiteful when confronted with the fact of his nonbeing.
