Should logic be taught in elementary?

Should logic be taught in elementary?
As I'm studying from a college level logic textbook for beginners, it seems to me that logic really isn't that hard. Conceivably (to me at least) it could be introduced to children.

Do you think logic should be taught to kids? If so, what age should it be introduced?

Also, what effects do you think teaching logic in all American public schools would have in society?
My ignore list
