My brother and sister, who went through the US system, had to take mandatory driving courses. Is that something you're okay with?

And my complaints with what is taught in Social Studies has nothing to do with my view on history. Rather with the way students are taught.
I had some pretty good Social Studies teachers. The main problem is that children's minds at that age have a hell of a time grasping the abstract and they're arrogant to boot.
