I'll let other people take that one and challenge your question at its
roots. Does every major idea taught in school (e.g. the fact that the
Napoleonic Wars happened) have to produce specific, tangible
benefits?

Telling the truth is morally right. Lying is morally wrong.
Deliberately omitting basic facts about the world because they upset
you is simply a variant of lying and is morally no better.
