Ridiculous, if anything this will strengthen the association of knives with random stabbings rather than actually teaching people what they are really for.

And so, when these kids do eventually pick up a knife, they will see it as a weapon and not a survival tool.

It's like with guns. To older people brought up in the country, they will always associate them with hunting or whatever. Give a gun to my younger brother and he'll start brandishing it around like he's a gangster.

As Hosakawa said, it's the nanny state gone wild.
