"Why not let them discuss any of them? There's more learning in a discussion than just the swapping of opinions."
Because I the taxpayer would like the system to impart a million important things to the kids first, before they get onto spending time discussing crap.

Is the fact that alchemy isn't on the GCSE chemistry syllabus reasonable? Yep, I reckon so. What about 2% of each astronomy degree being devoted to astrology? No thanks, not when I'm paying....
