In this case, the problem is not teaching a subject that every citizen should use, but it's a fair cop that many to most would probably forget or ignore it. It was a mandatory recurring subject as part of US History and the Sociology half of Psych/Soc every two or three years in 6-12th grades for me, late 80s/early 90s, but I can easily believe it's been cut down along with the general loosening of standards for teach-to-the-standardized-bubble-test No Child Gets Ahead style programs. They were bad enough then.
