So in theory, if you were in the wrong place at the wrong time as a student, you could have been taught that Belgium started WWII by invading Portugal, and that's that?
There are state standards that are tested on, but it's pretty loose. It also depends on the school. I taught in a poor school in the hood, which gave me a lot of academic freedom cuz as long as my kids were actually in the classroom (not wandering the halls, not being sent to the principal's office), admin didn't care what I taught for the most part
