Cartographers for social equality points

In the video I watched of the Organization of Cartographers for social equality pitching their idea to the Presidents representatives. The Cartographers for social equality wanted the president to make all of the public schools in the United States to change the map they teach with. They wanted the map to be changed from Mercator map to the Peters Projection map. The Mercator map was made by a German Cartographer in 1569 as a navigation tool for European sailors. One of the points that was made by The Cartographers for Social Equality was that the map is so old that it is extremely distorted. One of the examples they use is that on the Mercator map Greenland and Africa appear to be the same size but in real life Africa is 14 times bigger then Greenland. The German Cartographer increased the land masses by the poles so that would line up with the lines of latitude and longitude. Another point made by the Cartographers for Social Equality was that when a lot of people learn about maps in school or just see them they associate Land with power. So if they saw a bigger land mass some people might think that it has more power over the rest of the world. This makes people believe that the smallest countries have the least power over the world when that is not necessarily true. That is why the Organization of Cartographers for Social Equality want the President to make all of the public school kids in the United States use the Peters Projection map instead of the Mercator map.
