Open Question: Why is it necessary to teach children false information?

I recently graduated with a psychology degree with a minor in history, and from what i have noticed is that many great details about human history is left out completely or altered in such a away that when learned at a higher level, the new information seems unfathomable. So, why is it that we can't just learn at a younger age the same history that we learn at higher levels of learning (without being so complicated of course) but still relevant?
