When I went to grade school, 5th grade was all about learning stuff from the American Revolution, Pilgrims, the name and capital of every state and how to find them on a map, that sort of thing. 6th grade we learned all about the Constitution, Declaration of Independence (including memorizing the preamble to each), the Electoral College, the allocation of senators and congress critters, governors, the Presidency, the Supreme Court, and checks and balances. This was completely normal and of course we always said the Pledge of Allegiance every morning all during grade school and all through high school.

My 6th grade teacher brought up Watergate (which was very much still a developing story, the '72 election season was in full swing) and tried to blue-pill us students over how terrible of a scandal it was. The class was like "Sure doesn't sound like it's that big compared to all the other scandals we've learned about." Then she never mentioned it again, pretty sure this got out and her politicking in class ended then and there.

Watergate was just the democrats saying "Fuck it, Nixon won in a huge landslide and we are going to burn this mother fucker down." Sound familiar?
