This is dumb. Just because you don't use logarithms doesn't mean you never use deduction or process of elimination. Math is not solely about the numbers. The process is far more beneficial in many disciplines.

Also, the smart kids in class sure use them often enough.

The same vain is people arguing that schools should be teaching important things like budgeting, interest rates, taxes etc.

These things a trivial if you have the maths skills. These things are also subject to change, the maths doesn't.

Worst of all, these things are all taught (in Scotland), the people complaining about school not teaching them weren't paying attention.
