- The United States is a righteous, fair, and just country.
- Success and a comfortable life necessarily followed hard, diligent, smart work
- Adults, by virtue of having been around longer, necessarily knew more and knew better than I.
- Socialism bad.
- All kids get beaten on a daily basis for transgressions such as a B grade on their paper, a speck of food still stuck to the dishes after washing, or for listening to music on the radio that their parents didn't like.

Abuse (verbal and physical) being normal
that you can "unlearn" autism and adhd (aka forcing someone to mask)
that the tides do affect rivers and lakes (that one i only learned last week)
drinking alcohole at a young age and drinking lots is normal and okay
weed smokers with the image of typical drug users
anything religiouse (though even in second grade i unironicly said "i belief only in facts and science. Mrs Teacher, is there a religion that is about the facts of science?" Yeaaah the autism has always been strong)

The beach where I used to live had quicksand and people had to be rescued from it at least once a week, usually more. So it was a pretty big concern, actually, and I had to make sure my kid and his friends didn't end up in it (they did, several times).
