The rise of flat-Earthers in society provides some of the best evidence for the failure of our educational system.

With all due respect, what exactly does that mean?
-
It's being taught how to analyse & understand new information outside the classroom environment, rather than memorising facts
-
1. So, because our kids learn facts in school -- for instance, Earth is round -- they grow up to believe Earth is flat? I get critiques
-
The issue is that when they hear that the Earth's flat & it's all a conspiracy, they won't weigh it against the evidence properly
-
Ideally, they should discard the idea because there's masses of evidence against it, but if they've just memorised facts they might not

The only problem in your argument is that you are wrong. That cgi photo you use doesn't mean you know anything.

My profile picture? I took that myself back in 2014. It has been improved aesthetically in Photoshop but no new information was added

I still have the raw, unprocessed photos anyway, and have seen the object in question (the Great Orion Nebula) visually thru a telescope toopic.twitter.com/ub4DWonZcn

Sorry, this is bullshit. Critical analysis is embedded in all facets of public school curricula. But some churches tell them we just lie.

That is critical thinking. A skill that is being conditioned away by things like your bs scientism, which is a religion itself.
-
Science is not a religion. No religion subjects itself to testing 0and peer review.

because kids must be brainwashed to think one way and anyone who thinks differently is evil right?

Really??? 2+2=4. No amount of thinking differently makes that answer anything but 4. It doesn't get to be 7 or 15 because you say so. Fact.

It's not like we don't try. I PROMISE we try with all our might. Anti-intellectualism is a force too strong. It overwhelms all our efforts.
