Yet as always the discussion revolves around costs.

Anti vaxxers are a failure of the school system, at least some material should be required also for home schooling. The sad thing is history lessons have become politicized more than ever. Those who control the past control the future.

White washing has always gone on in history lessons, yet now science and biology have also been under fire for years.

Which is also the "normal state of things" if you look at the last centuries. Only really in the short time window after WW2 science enjoyed a pretty broad basis of trust, which at this point has been slowly erroded again largely for political gains/reasons.
