As education gets technologically more sophisticated, it gets intellectually less so.
When I see the textbooks of my parents' generation (people born in the second decade of the 20th century), what they were expected to read and calculate an elementary school would be high school level today, plus it's acceptable to pass to the next grade even if you can't complete your tasks. The stuff they learned back then in high school would probably not even be covered in most general college curricula today.
In my parents generation, a discussion of this depth might have been carried on in high school civics or sociology class.

Those of us growing up in the 60s or 70s would not have been exposed to such a discussion until college years.
Nowadays it would require vocabulary and historical background not taught until upper level (major-determined) college or grad school, and without 50% of it being filled with disclaimers, equivocation, and 'trigger warnings', I'm not sure it would ever be discussed.
Yet it is what should be regarded as a basic discussion of the foundational construction of our government…! Stuff. Every citizen should be well-versed in…!
Certainly if it is some purple herd, third grade teacher with a nose ring, spewinga one-sided diatribe against a free market capitalist federalist Republic with a bill of rights based on Judeo-Christian values, it would be deemed ok for third graders, at least in public schools; no trigger warnings needed.
It is no wonder we have such a divided and morally ambiguous society.
