My son came home one day when he was in middle school and announced that he had learned that dolphins were the smartest animals on the planet, including man. I said that's great to know, next time I'm flying for work I'll make sure the pilot is a dolphin, and I bet the astronauts were really surprised when they landed on the moon that dolphins had already been there. He just rolled his eyes and said "I got it dad". I just said "don't always believe everything someone tells you. Think for yourself."
Of course, his sister became a teacher and is knee deep in woke ideology.
