Some parts of history it's probably best not to give little kids all the 
horrific details on. For instance, it's one thing to say millions of people 
were killed in the holocaust, but quite another to go into the gory details of 
the various tortures inflicted upon them. And another still to talk about the 
biggest group of holocaust victims while not mentioning the rest (an entirely 
different form of dumbing down history).

As for math, I don't see any reason to ever dumb that down. Unless, of course, 
by dumbing it down you mean starting with the basics and building upon them. 
That's kinda a neccessity. Much as I'd like to see my kids doing calculous in 
the third grade it's just not going to happen.
