Yeah... as critical as I am about my own profession, I resolutely believe that we need more economics education in America, not less.
One issue is that it's kinda hard to get young people interested in economics. I notice a definite pattern that older people tend to be more interested in econ, because they've had more personal experiences of how it impacts their life.
Rothbard had some line about how people become interested in economics once they realize they’re getting screwed and want to understand how.
I suppose you have to live a little to get to that point.
