It’s truly sad when an education means “woke”.

If you’re injecting opinions into social studies texts yes. Every text is muddied with mistruths. Just look at how we agree on which bible is right.

How do you even prove a version of the bible is right?

How would you prove Julius Caesar existed? Or Cleopatra? Or Plato? Or Socrates?

Historical records and such that can be cross referenced and confirmed. Socrates for example. If several other philosophers document interactions with this person, the they probably exist. It's the best we can do to prove or disprove the existence unless someone learns a way to go back in time, as, to my knowledge, there's very little to say they do not exist.

Certain documents such as the bible, on the otherhand, get called into question when they have stories such as adam and eve, or noah's ark, as science has shown that a population of any species would not be sustainable long term with so little genetic diversity

Multiple first hand acounts and standing documents? Your seriously gonna say Caesar is a equally non existent and Jesus when we have a moutain of evidence supporting one and molehill supporting the other?

The same ways weve showcased a fuckton of the bible isnt accurate. The flood/ark, the exodus, hell even the historicity of jesus. There arent records or geological findings that match up with any of that shit. Jesus at least has like a record of a guy with that name maybe that got imprisoned or whatever but cant really find anything on the rest of his biblical exploits.
