    If kids who are fans of pop-stars think Earth is flat because they do, then it exposes a flaw in the concept of Role Models.

        i always wonder where is the edge of the world for those people. I mean, if it flat it has edges, or is it infinite as well?

        I'll never understand flat Earth people. If it was true it would be the easiest thing to prove. Just travel to the edge and take picture.

        Gov'ts can't keep extramarital affairs and private emails a secret, yet people believe world leaders can conspire to hide the Earth's shape.

        as a former teacher I think it's up to educators to teach students hhow to evaluate opinions/evidence to form their own beliefs

        Unfortunately educators include parents & some parents actively encourage their children to blindly believe information from certain sources

        It also shows a flaw in critical thinking skills as well as inability to follow logical conclusions based on mounds of evidence.
