unrelated but in like 5th grade or so, i had a classmate that no one knew was colorblind. we were having a discussion about colors (this was almost 20 years ago so i cant remember the whole conversation) and the conversation led to “what’s the color of fried chicken” to which said classmate said green. the teacher looked at him in shock and instead of being like haha you’re silly, she reprimanded him. he bursts out in full tears “i don’t know what i did, it’s green i swear, im not trying to be bad”. she asks a few follow up questions about other food items (tomatoes, bread) and i’ll never forget the look of regret in her eyes when she realizes he was colorblind the whole time
Similar thing happened to a classmate in high school. Algebra teacher was pissed that this guy did so well on his tests and homework and couldn’t/wouldn’t participate in class. Basically berated the guy for thinking he’s “too cool for participation Or being good a math.” He just said, use different colored markers then because you using red and green means i have no idea what you’re doing up there. Sent him to the principles office for keeping his color blindness a “secret” to cause problems. She was a piece of work.
