Actually, I would vote for teaching about sociopaths - that some people don't have a conscience, and that it's not their fault. Psychology or neuro-, whatever, but just get the point across.

A sort of Brain Manual 101. We try to teach safe sex and safe driving--how about spending a few minutes of the curriculum on the safe and efficient use of your brain? I would start the course with a week's worth of optical illusions, just to remind everyone that you can't always trust your senses. PS--I agree--Most people in the world just want to get through the day without a rain of trouble falling on their heads. Basically good people.
