Here's a chilling glimpse of the future: children educated in different states learn entirely different and often opposing ideas of ethics based on where they live. Those children grow into adults, and the cultural divide in this country is deepened even more. War breaks out.
Already happening. Many of us in the south were taught the Civil War was about “states rights” and not slavery. 🙄
Ya right? I was gonna say I'm from Lousiana and that shits already happening man. The difference in education between the south and a place like Cali is insane
That is both the past and current status in the US, so not hard to imagine it continuing in the future.
It already happens in the US. Sex ed and American history are just two examples.
That has already been the case for decades. Many students educated in the deep south learned about "the war of northern aggression." Texas had a brief period where science text books were required to have information on "intelligent design theory" (a religious idea, not an actual scientific theory).
Kids will sincerely and reasonably ask "why do the call it the UNITED States?"
in case it's not clear from the other responses: you're behind the times. look into understanding why and you'll have your answer why.
i say this because i was in the same place you are now and learning why helped me a TON!!!
Hasn't it been like this since before the US was even a thing?
