I thought it'd be obvious, but it's because the existence of ESP is currently not generally accepted in academia.

If ESP does exist in the capacity that psychics claim, it is only a matter of time until science is able to verify its existence, thus upgrading its status from "paranormal" to "normal."

Unfortunatley, I bet it'd be even longer still until something like ESP was taught in public schools. Lucid dreaming, for example, has been scientifically verified for over 30 years now and could be a wonderfully entertaining (and even useful) skill to teach younger children, especially since young children tend to be very susceptible to having lucid dreams. Yet something as harmlessly interesting as lucid dreaming has yet to make it into any school curriculum that I'm aware of. Young students are instead stuck with filling their heads with mind-limiting trivia
