    I meant if they were taught what logical fallacies are (and how to recognize them). What they are actually taught relies on logical fallacies and would crumble if they understood it for what it is. Pretty sure we’re saying the same thing.

      Yes, I agree. I was making a joke about how backward, and often times completely incorrect, US education is, i.e., they are teaching the children logical fallacies.
