People force their kids to brush their teeth every day, go to school every day, participate on sports and other activities outside of school every day, go to church every week, do their homework every night, etc. etc. etc. Your rationalization holds little weigh, especially since there would be virtually no one teaching them about the nature of their food.
How many schools take field trips to slaughter houses? How many slaughterhouses exist on street corners in cities? How many factory farms are open to public tours? The 4H club? Raise a prize winning pig and then send it off to be slaughtered somewhere else by someone else without ever discussing or studying ethology or behavior.
The parents need to do this education because there won't be anyone else there to do it for them. The USDA gets lobbied by the Egg, Poultry, Meat and Dairy industries while their schools get bulk discounts on all of those food items and free charts showing them how "healthy" all of that is.
We're not talking about math or science here; this is pure politics. And like every good PR campaign, they only want people to hear their one side. The parents are the ones who should be there to dissect the information and make sure their kids get the full story and a complete education.
