It’s taught in 6 states… NJ and NY happen to be one of them..And even as you admit, it’s only taught in the upper honors classes, which means it’s not taught to most people. Most people in high school aren’t necessarily taking calculus.

There is no federal standard. And some distance back one district I remember attempted that in CA and it was shot down.
