WHAT? The Nebraska Legislature recently passed LB962 which states “...beginning in school year 2024-2025, a public school shall not allow the use of a Mercator projection map in school. A public school shall only use the Ball-Peters projection map or a similar cylindrical equal-area projection map or the Autha-Graph projection map for display or use in the classroom.” Come to find out “Who is this Mercator?” and “Which way is up?” or maybe “I’m LOST!”
