con artists and BS in grade schools

Why are we not taught how to recognize con artists while in school?

Would it have anything to do with the goal to keep critical thinking out of the class room?

Is there a connection, or is it my conspiratorial imagination running away with me?

What would a class on BS recognition look like?
