I mean, “those” people believe in a hidden cabal who controls everything and feeds lies to the population, teaching those things in school doesn’t really change much when they’re just going to disregard them as “fake propaganda”.
There's definitely a cabal feeding lies to them, but they're not very hidden, and they're the very people they think are telling the truth.
No, good education will prevent them from falling for conspiracy theories and lies in the first place.
I think some hours of “critical thinking” could do wonders. Stuff like teaching to check sources, how to recognize fake news and stuff.
But most schools don’t even teach IT so I’ve lost hope at this point.
