I don’t’ accept your premise, things taught in schools are decided at a local level, not national. If you would like to underwrite my $6k school tax bill, I’ll let you opine what you think should be taught here where I live.
Haruspex and dousing are perfectly cromulent sciences, and should be taught right alongside well known snakeoil scams such as “thermodynamics” and “germ theory.”
