I think we learned about that in fourth or fifth grade. Not opposed to that so long as they aren’t dropping George Washington and the Constitution to make time for it (which, I’m sure they are)
Yeah I too learned about it later on in grade school. The code was the first written down series of laws. I remember the nuns teaching it in parochial school I went to grades 1-8. Then 9&10 in a catholic HS with Marist Brothers. They tought us all about history both world and US. and how to be a patriotic American. Pretty good education all the way around.
They teach that the Bible is archaic and the Koran is holy. They teach that Christians are intolerant and that Islam is peaceful.
Teaching the Christian focuses on Crusades and witch burnings
Teaching Islam has them dress up and hear nice things about their culture
This is what they do in classes these days
Back in the 50s-60s I also remember Hammurabi’s code being a part of the history-social studies content. We were taught how that code was the first written codified set of laws or rules and that along with the ten commandments and other common law practices over many centuries evolved into many of the laws and codes and even our Constitution that we live by today. Nothing wrong with it if it is taught in that manner. Now, I would doubt that Common Core presents it in that context.
