I never signed up for any organ donation industry. Basically, the non-Jewish public school teacher gave inaccurate information in order to convince Jewish kids to sign up for the organ donation registry. I said that if you do that, then they will most likely take organs that based on Jewish law, are not permitted to be donated, such as your heart, therefore, Jewish people should not sign up for the national organ donor registry. The public school teacher was open to accepting my feedback and correction, and I said this to her during class while she was teaching.

I went up to the teacher from the bais yaakov after class to ask for clarification about some information that I was reading about a gadol for my school project, I was very polite, but after I asked the question, she gave me a whole lecture about how I was putting down the gadol (when I was asking a question because I did not understand something) and said I was chutzpadik and how dare I ask such a question. When I took the final exam at the end of the semester, which I had to make up because I was sick on the original test date, I was granted including extended time, an hour and twenty minutes to take the exam, and she spent an hour lecturing me about how I was wrong to ask that question (two months after I asked it) and I only had 15-20 minutes to take the exam, and I failed. I almost did not graduate high school because of that exam.
