That week I found 3 outdated textbooks with straight up wrong science facts
Last March I was sorting donated books at the Springfield community center and pulled a 2001 earth science textbook. It said Pluto was still a planet AND that humans only use 10% of our brains, which is just not true. I ended up finding two more books with old info like that in the same batch. Has anyone else run into resources that are teaching kids stuff that's been disproven for years?

Flagged them for the library to pull before they reach kids.

Wondered if @patricianguyen considered that pulling them quietly might actually make kids more curious to hunt those books down. Sometimes the forbidden fruit thing backfires hard.
