They did... WHAT??? Banning Mercater maps because of DEI racism is nuts.
A globe is an excellent teaching tool for showing proper proportion and location, but sometimes you need a flat, 2-D representation to show certain concepts. The Mercater map has one purpose: to show where/how longitudinal and latitudinal lines align and intersect across our world in a grid. It's a teaching tool used for specific concepts that are easily communicated and grasped when properly taught USING this specific layout.
I plan to contact my elected representatives to have a word with them about their involvement.
