Perhaps history for kids that age would not have been all that substantial, but anything would be better than "what is a family for" class. Kids should already know that, and if they don't know about that already, the class is not going to be of any help to them as the school cannot and should not be a substitute for the family that should be at home.
And I am sure that "social studies" has gotten even worse since I have been in school, with all the gay shit going on and other propaganda.
