Oobleck said that, to the students, it sounded like ancient history despite being a rather recent event. But that could simply mean it took place  before they were born or when their parents were still young.

I mean, I'm 19, for me, the last militar dictactorship that took place in my country feels kind of like "ancient history" despite it having taken place between 1976 and 1983, which is well within my mother's lifetime.

So, I wonder, could any of the teachers have actually fought in the Faunus Rights Revolution? If there are human and faunus veterans of the revolution still alive, it could explain while you can see really young people like Cardin feeling strongly against the faunus, he could have very well have learned it from his father or grandfather. Well, my theory has always been that it happened when the students were infants or right before they were born. It makes more sense the way Blake tells it for that to be the case.
