Right, understand you weren't suggesting a complete overhaul of all of education.
But even a textbook change is a huge change. Right now we have a Florida state law resulting in dictionaries getting pulled from school libraries. Texas schoolboards effectively make textbook and curriculum decisions for the rest of the US.
Education is a political football in the US, and always has been, but especially now. In other parts of the world, it varies - but you can bet that Turkish textbooks don't cover what happened in 1915 in the same way that a Greek textbook might.
And so the status quo is very difficult to change.
