edit: seems like some people interpret “full of” as a mathematical majority which, while it may or might not be true instance to instance, isn’t my intent in posting
feel free to swap in “has a lot of” if that’s more familiar language to you :)

Critical thinking skills are essential for that, and they stopped teaching that a long time ago. It’s not enough to have access to information, you have to have the skills to judge and interpret it. This is why misinformation is such a problem, people literally don’t have the skills to distinguish between it and actual facts
Nobody ever taught me that either but I figured it out. I wish this didn’t need to be taught at all.
I am going to assume you went to a public school, yeah?
Yeah
It isn’t the schools’ responsibility to give you every damn skill necessary to be a functioning adult. We keep trying to put the blame somewhere where it doesn’t belong.
Who’s responsibility is it? The parents? The ones who were themselves indoctrinated? The point of mentioning schools is to say that the reliable baseline of public education isn’t so reliable anymore, so all they have is propaganda filtered through their parents and community.
It’s not about placing blame, it’s about diagnosing the causes and devising a fitting solution.
