Obviously sex, prostitution, etc....

- Slavery: there is no right answer in today, even if you use facts that there is more slavery today than before

- conquest: do not mention that history has shown that stronger civilizations conquer smaller ones

- religion: do not teach religion even the facts about it because the beliefs of individuals override what is truth

- Civil War: it was only about slavery not the other topics such as states rights and what not







Feel free to add your own

Wrong. Your 3-8 grade teachers failed you.

I would just be happy if they kept their personal politics to themselves. I realize their will be some overlap in classes like civics, but even then they could just present the facts and let the kids develop their own opinions.

Well I've been told before and it was something I believed when I taught...


Students should not know
- your religion
- your political preference
- you are married or not

If you can present both sides of a topic and allow students to come up with their own conclusion then you were successful. That isn't the case for most I am aware

So just abbreviate it to history. And no, kids should absolutely be taught about these things:

You actually thought this was a clever retort didn’t you?

Teachers at those ages should make sure kids can read, write, add, subtract, multiply and divide, and leave the indoctrination out. Maybe the schools would work if they did that.

We shouldn’t teach middle schoolers about civics and history? Hot take, Chad.

Religion is already forbidden from being taught in public schools. I think I could actually make the argument that MORE religion, history, and civics should be taught in school.

Well, there are some areas of sex that are appropriate for 3-8 grade.
Girls can be taught basic lessons in gold digging.
Boys can learn how not to become simps.

Homosexuality and any of the Alphabet people. There are instances of parents posting pictures from student text books that talk about shite like analingus in high school. This shite has to stop.
