If you don't, fine. It's a personal decision.
*government? Is this what the OP is referring to as to who would require the skill in order to get a driver's license?
My vote is NO way.

In the UK and probably others as well it works like this(from what I read):
You can get a dual auto/manual license or just a auto license. If you pass the test on a manual you get both but not with passing using an automatic.
Since nobody wants to have a limited license, everybody learns stick sans being forced too.
I find automatic transmission dull and easier to daydream....easier to hold a cell phone, eat, etc. which is the last thing most teens should be doing in a car.
