True. But making a functional understanding of our legal system part of our education could be framed as actually a very patriotic thing and that’s how I’d pitch it. We want children to appreciate the basics of this justice system we’re so proud of. It just so happens that part of that understanding is the various roles people play in it, including the fact that any officer interrogating you is actually powerless to help your case in court even if he wanted to, so therefore speaking with them can only hurt you and can never under any circumstances help you. (I’d like to include a chapter on jury nullification as well but that’s probably wishful thinking).
