I think 2 Kings 2:23-24 should be taught to all children, both in Sunday school and secular school? Do you agree?

Sure.
Most schools I have been to do have classes that cover mythology.

23And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. 24And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
That'll teach 'em.

And the moral of the story?
Don't make fun of old self righteous bald men lest ye be eaten by a bear.

Sometimes the just and righteous thing to do is to have children brutally slaughtered over bruised egos.

It shouldn't be taught as true, but I guess as a moral story like teachers do read kids sometimes like that one where the girl went in a house of 3 bears.

No, the moral of the story is God is all love.

I'm curious as to what a bible believers response would be to the OP.

I thought it taught that if your nose grows you can't get away with it.

So am I, but as you can see, nothing yet.
Ah, and the moral of this thread is that sanctimony isn't an exclusively religious defect.

No, the moral of the thread is why evangelically preach that God is all love and charity and forgiving, when this is clearly not the case.

Though accrued scientific knowledge suggests the strongest organisms arise from the harshest conditions, so a God that truly loved its subjects would torture the balls off them.
Uh oh, that's undeniable proof.
