I don't think that's the dumbing down he was talking about.  That is common
sense making it age appropriate.

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.
