This actually does *not* suprise me at all.  There have been many movements
over the years to "dumb down" what people are taught by reducing the number
of "things" that exist.   Things like:

"There are only three (or four) continents."
"There is only one ocean."
"There are only four Great Lakes."
"There are only 8 planets."

Etc.

Someone who was taught in a "dumb down" system would probably believe that
"North America" refers to the northern USA instead of the continent.
