Mandatory no. As an elective sure.
The problem with teaching law in the western world is despite what the law says a precident in a court case will function as a laws interpretation until the case is overturned or the law is updated.
I was thinking more in terms of absolute basics that can be applied in the context of everyday media use, for example. I simply think that this field is no longer just relevant for publishers and lawyers, but for everyone. After all, almost everyone is now a publisher in some way: social media and its influencers have spawned an entire industry of semi-professional publishers, content management systems and page builders make it possible for anyone to run their own website, and so on.
Maybe if the question was: Should children be taught Publishing 101, I could answer yes, publishing media is very accessible and ubiquitous now a days, as you mentioned. Then one of the subjects could be local and international copyright law.
Locally I think about 50% of teens enjoy social media training, so they at least won't dox themselves etc.
Yes, that would have been a better question indeed.
