When did they start telling the entire truth in elementary school? - Back then you thought Lincoln started the war to free the slaves. - The Mayflower was the first boat to the US. - The Indians and the Pilgrims got along great.
In elementary school they give you an overview of what is going on. They don't tell you the US dropped two bombs on Japan that killed a large number of people. They tell you the Allies bravely defeated the Axis Powers. It was the Disney version of everything. People will always add moral judgments to things. By the time a child is old enough to understand what is really going on, they will have already made a judgment based on their parents and their friends. Talking about it in school won't change that. If a student is told that it exists, they will come and ask their parents. If the teacher doesn't show favor one way or another, the parents sure will. Thus the kid has been influenced, and the cycle continues. The only time you will get a judgment free explanation is from the dictionary. After that a curious child has questions, and the answers to these questions are often based on moral beliefs. > > Why not? It is a factual correct statement.
