Would whatever sources you get for your ideas get past your favorite high school teacher? College professor? Newspaper editor? Nun?
The World Wide Web didn't exist when I was in High School. Wikipedia's founder was only 10 years old when I was in High School. The co-founder I believe was only 12 or 13.

Cable TV had I believe - 30 channels total, HBO hadn't been invented yet and MTV still had a few years to go before its first music video (The Buggles: Video Killed the Radio Star).

We had old 1940's and 1950's newsreels, textbooks, radio, and network TV. We had Childcraft and World Book encyclopedia sets. That was the bulk of our knowledge base.

We had such limited access to information, compared with only 10 years later, that the question has no relevance at all.
