< 5% of adults were able to tell the difference between facts and opinions about current events.
We underfund, and actively defund public schools, college is unaffordable, and propaganda is pushed as news.
Knowledge is power, which is why Republicans attack education.

The data is from 2019, the study is new
This study has a very specific OPINION about which definitions are most correct.
Which is NOT how language works.
There is no inquiry, no challenging of what youre reading, no vetting sources or potential bias
People do not understand basic science principles
they should read more books and established, fact checked newspapers!
"< 5% of adults were able to tell the difference between facts and opinions about current events."
Then you try and pin all of that on "Republicans." Like Democrats are somehow blameless despite being in charge.
You're not in your own 5%.
I think we found our joker, as if this isn't wish-driven religious opinion.
I give them a primary source; they discount it and counter with an opinion piece.
That’s gone from public ed now and truly needs to be restored.
But THIS is common sense that needs to evolve into a class.
It could be paired with understanding how to determine legit sources on SM.
