I believe the author is starting with a false premise to justify her position. What she claims is teaching is more likely dealing with topics that come up from the students.
Real facts include murder, rape, executions, auto accidents, horrors of war among other things that may come up, but are not topics that should be taught to kids who are talking about tooth fairies.

Speaking about the Daily Sun, has anyone else noticed how small it’s getting? I noticed last week that the Friday issue used to have two sections devoted to “Wheels”, but last week and again this week, there was only one section and eliminated were the articles called “Timeline”, which showed historical facts about the auto industry and also the question and answer articles by Bob Weber and Ray Magliotti. About three pages in Lifestyle and very little in Sports sections today. Just sayin’.
