> It's to improve those critical rationality skills and the ability to analyze information

You're assuming the majority of people are bamboozled by bias and propaganda, and if they were better educated they'd be immune.

But it's just as likely that they'll continue to believe what suits them regardless of rationality training. Assessing sources and analyzing information is hard work. So is thinking, and it's especially difficult if the results go against the beliefs of your social group.

I'm not convinced that critical thinking skills will make the slightest bit of difference to the vast majority of people .
