[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m guessing you don’t know what civics is if you don’t think they should cover election. Also, the teacher may not have heard what the classmate said to your kid. Or maybe it was a debate and the teacher was letting all sides present their case. Our maybe the teacher also believe youngkin will shut down pronouns being mandatorily enforced at the threat of being fired. [/quote]

Or maybe the kid never said it
Or did and the teacher clarified they were misinformed and explained the situation

But no OP wants to jump to “[b]kids who can vote in 4 years shouldn’t learn civics.[/b]” [/quote]

OP didn't say that. OP's gripe is that the teacher did not correct something that another classmate said that OP thinks is incorrect.

OP, I think the lesson here, regardless of what actually happened or who said what, is to tell your kids that there is a lot of misinformation in the world. Sometimes purposeful, sometime not. Regardless, the best thing is to do your own research into political candidates and don't just assume that what someone says (anyone, even a person in authority like a teacher or a parent) is correct.[/quote]
