    Critical thinking means that you have the right tools to decide yourself if something is misinformation or not

        Use your words, mate – what exactly do you think is wrong with teaching critical thinking skills? Do you understand that they’re not going to just “say something is misinformation” but teach kids to be able to evaluate whether something is likely going to be bullshit or not, among other skills?

        • I thibk they absolutly should be teaching critical thinking that is the point of education isnt it? Do you not see the issue of saying xyz happened due to misinformation (theg are saying sonthing is misinformation) therefore we should teach critical thinking (allowing individuals to detect misinformation themselves). You canot dictate that somthing is misinformation while advocating for people to decide what is misinformation themselves.
