It's insane to me how these people conflate "acknowledging a pretty common thing that exists" with "teaching". I've been a public high school teacher for 15 years--I WISH all I had to do was acknowledge Newton's laws of motion! Actually, I'm pretty happy I get to help kids figure out their mistakes, that's actually the fun part of my job.
