    Is what Germans were teaching kids incrhe 1930’s and what Floridians are teaching kids now the same? This gives me tons of questions with how empty the statement feels. What constitutes wrong and “wrong?” Can’t this statement be used to try to promote misinformation in schools also?

      Dachau in Munich, Germany has the best “how did we get here” exhibit I’ve seen. And it’s exactly this.

      I’m assuming op is about this recent story, in which case this seems relevant.

      Beyond that there is the usual white supremacist and other oppressive agendas already being taught (or deliberately not).

      There are several dozen other examples I could link to off the top of my head, but I don’t actually think you care, so I won’t bother.

      To still be able or willing to think statements like these are empty you must either live under a rock, or be an active part of the problem.

      Teachers can be fired anywhere for teaching the wrong thing. I’m sure teachers in New York can be fired for teaching creationism and not evolution. It’s all a matter of perspective.
