I found the same thing in the social sciences, at least when I went to high school. The analytical framework I learned in college, which was essentially the scientific method for studying politics and economics, was absent at the secondary level.

You can teach people civics and geography and history, and even a little bit about business and finance, but unless people know how to test an assertion made by a politician or economist, they'll just chase what sounds good and fits their preconceived notions.

Just like ID.
