There is this belief that children should always obey their parents, so I doubt anyone is going to push for a skepticism class in elementary school. "Because I said so" would break down so fast, and it's pretty much a parent's trump card. Teens are already rebellious enough without being taught the best ways to debate a topic, though debate clubs do exist. Just not a third period debate class, between math and history.

I think highschool would be the best time, though. Teenagers becoming their own people, and looking forward to being independents, should flock to a class about critical thinking. If anything is going to help someone be an adult, it's teaching them how to think for themselves, though authoritative parents won't like it.

I could easily see this in college, but not everyone goes to college. Especially with high student loans that you can't file bankruptcy on.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
