To the editor: I appreciate your op-ed article about the incoming Biden administration’s need to combat “truth decay.”

I taught middle school in the Los Angeles Unified School District and saw the harm that the George W. Bush-era No Child Left Behind law did to instruction in history and all the social sciences. Teachers were blasted with demands to focus on English, reading and math.

The resulting deprioritizing of history and civics education has helped bring about a generation that is incapable of telling fact from fiction.

All subjects are important, so history and civics must not be diminished. The obvious need for better instruction in the social sciences is more important than ever
