As a general policy, we could return basic critical thinking to primary education.
Mine included First Amendment issues along with the following:
Recognition of propaganda forms. Done in the context of ADS at first, then later political media.
Agency in conversation. How to weigh words. Being called an ass by a clown, for example. The most common, basic response is righteous indignation. However, a better response is, "meh", or laughter to better identify the laughable. This was done in the context of ordinary conflict and media reported events.
Bias. There is always bias in media. Objectivity is something expensive and it takes time and people working together to actualize. Is that bias honestly represented? Secondly, how does that bias color conclusions or advocacy present? This was done in the context of news media. Was it from labor point of view or business, other? (Economic) For social, similar questions were asked and material identified.
Today, for example, few Americans realize there is almost no reporting from the labor point of view. There used to be. What jas changed?
Reasoning, fallacies, etc... the basics like what one may find at critical thinking dot org sites today.
My own kids did not get any of that. I provided it.
Regulating speech based on ehat could happen, or blanket assumptions about people being feeble, or some other condition will not end well. I will leave it there.
