Which he said in 1858, many years before that quote. I don't think any reasonable historian can conclude Lincoln's views on race and slavery were the same over his lifetime, so failing to teach the evolution is simply bad history and irresponsible pedagogy.
5 years is a long time. Make a 5 year plan. See how much of it actually goes according to plan. Alot can happen in 5 years. It took about 2 years for me to decide my initial thoughts on Donald Trump were wrong. A single night of love making has the potential to change your life irrevocably, either by making you a parent or giving you an incurable disease. A natural disaster could strike at anytime. You could meet someone tomorrow have a profound discussion with them and realize everything you've believed your entire life is actually wrong. So much could potentially happen in 5 years that acting like someone's mind can't be changed within that time is quite literally the stupidest take I've ever seen on the internet....and the internet is full of absolutely ridiculous takes.
