I have instructed my kid the same. I told him that even if they teach him that it’s now the Gulf of Amerikkka at school, it’s really still the “Gulf of Mexico” and it was just notcees being notcees .
Speaking from experience ... I live three hours from the Gulf and have just always called it the beach. Pretty sure I'll still say "Let's go the beach" in four years.
He can't rename the entire gulf of Mexico. Only 12 miles off the coast of territorial waters can be renamed. The rest is international waters and will still remain the gulf of Mexico. The green is only where the name would change.
I already mentioned to my kid that if they are ever taught that in school that they have my permission to get that question wrong. It is the Gulf of Mexico. Period.
