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.
