It’s a good article. I have a few reservations, but yes, students should learn about all aspects of modern science. Newtonian physics is still also valuable for many purposes.

I especially like your last sentence. In the final analysis we are abjectly ignorant. IMO, children should be encouraged to think and question so that they might become deeply aware and appreciative of nature. In my experience what is often presented dogmatically by teachers is their own personal physicalist/reductionist world view. There is a tendency to shrug off the miracles of reality as “nothing but this or nothing but that—we have a handle on things and there’s no reason to feel amazed or bewildered by your new existence. In fact you are nothing but a clump of molecules, worth nothing”.
