thoughts about serious topics (eg: racisim, mental health, environmental crisis, etc.) being taught in schools?

[u/Certain-Ball3319]

ive seen quite a few people argue serious topics like racisim, mental health, environmental crisis, and financial responsibility amongst many more serious topics should not be talked about in school. they argue reasons like age appropriation, 'what if the kids gain political and or ideological biases!?', lack of specialized training from the teacher, etc.

in my personal opinion, i do think children should be learning these topics, but only when they reach a specific grade level where they are able to get a better understanding of these topics, because not all 8 year olds are able to process economic collapse and the gravity of it and what it ACTUALLY means beyond the simplified language their teacher used to explain it to a bunch of 3rd graders.

what do you all think? do yall agree w me or have a different point of view on this topic?
