An even better idea: make your OWN list! Don't expect someone else to tell you the truth if you're not working to search for it yourself!

My teachers told us, with all honesty, than the reason “the blacks” (yes, they said it just like that in a tone you expect) are better athletes is because they have an extra muscle in their legs.

This was while there were African American students in the class. In second grade.

Curious how you would go about this process of creating a list of your own knowledge that is outdated.

By being a life-long learner! Seriously, learning is an active thing, it's not something we have to be sitting in a room to receive. So as we read and learn more, we realize that some of the things we learned are different from what we thought. It's something we should all be doing as we learn and reflect.

Right... And the suggestion in OP is for someone to create an efficient tool supporting life-long learning. One doesn't imply lack of active learning in the other. So get of your condescending high horse.
