The document you shared is a great example of the education system acting as a vessel for inculcating children with sterile, polite thoughts. I can imagine the room full of well-meaning adults who think they must protect children from dangerous ideas like racial superiority and end up building an edifice of useless ideas.

Maybe we shouldn't even try to explain such an overwhelmingly complex topic like "development of civilization" in grade 4? A charged topic where reasonable sounding yet deeply flawed ideas are known to dupe entire generations of adults.

Alas, our education culture still prefers a feeding tube of narratives over an actual education that equips children with a robust understanding of basics (history, economics, ...) and the ability to question content in front of them. The same sadly applies to science education I think, but with less dramatic effect.
