You'd be surprised at how much misinformation was taught in public schools in the 80s and 90s in Alabama.
I'm in Indiana and have a 13-year-old daughter. You'd be surprised how much misinformation is taught in public schools now. Not just the abstinence-only sex education bullshit and the same old lies about drugs, but just getting basic history wrong because that history makes America look bad. I do my best to educate her on all of these and other subjects where school has failed her, but I have no experience in pedagogy, so it's an uphill battle.
She did enjoy coming home every day to tell me new lies the anti-drug program in her health class told her so I would correct them.
I stopped to think about this for a second and I am not surprised.
