I think I had a thread on conspiracy theories on the 1.0 but I know I did on FB and I was surprised to find how many friends that I think of as very smart, educated, well read people believe in the deepest, darkest conspiracies in this country.

And I love a good discussion about a conspiracy, don't get me wrong, but something like Pizzagate is easily disproved...the Pizza place doesn't have a basement.  And people who continue to spread conspiracies are just passing around bad information.  Conspiracies fill that void between what is happening and what he understand or know.  The more we understand and know the more we can move away from conspiracies and move closer to the truth.

On another note I never cared about my teacher's political leanings in school because I wasn't as political then and when I started caring more about politics I didn't care because I had my own views.  

Which leads to the way students are taught and how the majority of the textbooks and what are in them is established somewhere in Texas and that's that.  If a teacher points out an inaccuracy or a historical untruth then that is good teaching.
