I think its good for kids to learn that people can be wrong and to learn to see discrepancies between things. The harder task is to learn to respect differences, tolerate conflict, and work with someone even if you think they are wrong on some things. The world is made for the common denominator and most paths chosen are not the optimal ones.
I completely agree!
When I taught college English, I was always amazed and dismayed by how willing the students were to accept whatever opinion they read most recently as fact, regardless of what else they had read/heard/thought. These were adults at a quality university, yet they were frighteningly easy to persuade.
I think a whole lot of people in the world really are all-or-nothing sheeple. Scary.
