You know your post history's, like, right there, right?
You absolutely said exactly that.
Wait, was this friend teaching English in France, or was he French teaching English in Wisconsin?And he spend a year teaching French to American students in Wisconsin.
Are you confusing the immigration test with teacher certifications, or something?
And I'm telling you no certification process for teaching English, or any language for that matter, in any country that I am aware of, requires you to have a degree in language-relevant History.
That was your original claim. Which you have colossally failed to back up.
You've provided zero sources whatsoever. You're just making shit up as you go.
There isn't a lot of "scholarly sources" for a thing that's not true. Just like you'd be hard-pressed to find a lot of scholarly sources arguing that bigfoot isn't real. The assumption is that a thing is not true until/unless you can provide evidence and reasoning to back up that claim. The absence of evidence for a random claim is not a subject you'd write a scholarly opinion on, other than as a direct refutation of someone else who'd made such a claim without any basis themselves.
Fairly sure that a fully cited essay written by an accredited historian and published under the Chicago-Kent Law Review is in fact a scholarly source, habibi.
The Chicago-Kent Law Review began as the “Chicago Kent Review” in 1923. By the 1930s, the journal had adopted its current name and began publishing scholarly articles by law professors and practitioners.

No pathway to a teaching license requires a bachelor's degree in History, specifically, for language teaching. The one that does require field proficiency is the third, which only licenses you for that subject, and in the case of English, that'd mean a degree in English, not History.
Not saying his friend's imaginary, just that he could've had a degree in Mathematics or Computer Science and gotten the licensing to teach English in Wisconsin by the same route he did with a History degree.

If you're teaching K-12, you need a bachelor's degree, but you wouldn't need a History degree specifically to teach French.
Also, your claim that you'd want to know the history of the language really doesn't explain why your friend would know anything about the USA's history, since any such history would've been French history.
Also, was he even a certified teacher? Or was he tutoring or some other non-K-12 program? Because those practices are wildly different and require less of a process, and I doubt you'd go through all the rigamarole to get a teaching degree and then only teach for a year.
You've now changed literally every single element to this story. And you wonder why nobody will take you at your word.
This is looking like a bad episode of Pawn Stars....
I don't know about American History but let me call my brother who teaches French.

You also claimed he needed a degree in History to teach French, and specifically American history. Which was false, in all three different locations you've now claimed he was seeking to be certified in. While admitting he never actually taught as a certified teacher, in the first place.
You keep making shit up and having to correct yourself. If that's true of your story about your own brother, why would we ever take your word as to what you claim is "common knowledge"? That's how this all started. You've managed to completely discredit yourself, all by your own inconsistency.
