Should it also be illegal for the UK to teach Imperial units? I find the European attitude that government should ban everything they don't like perplexing.

Yes. It's a waste of children's time (and there is a massive market failure in education, so laws are the only way to make changes).

The only thing the EU would accomplish by making it illegal to teach Imperial in the UK is guaranteeing they leave the EU.

No, it shouldn't. As much as I also dislike the Continental love of the ban hammer, I'm not sure what it has to with this.
