My exact sentiments, GUEST999...

Kids *can* handle the truth... Okay, they might nor internalize information emotionally until they have further developed emotionally but once that occurs it's better for them as citizens of the world to, at the very least, have a knowledge base that is grounded in factual realities rather that a bunch of mythology that has been sanitized so that the so-called "adults" can sleep better at night...

And the problem gets worse becuase these adults that have been spoonfed mythology grow up to be, ahhhhh, voters!!! And that converts to garbage in - garbage out... The US Congress is a case in point...
