As soon as they can start understanding it, point out the bullshit. If there's a piece on the news do the research in front of them.
Instill a healthy skepticism, of everything they're told. Even gravity, obvious things. Encourage curiosity, and get them to discover for themselves the reason for why things are. If they can figure out how to design an experiment to test a hypothesis and understand the results, they'll be naturally immunized to this modern anti-science group-think. If they get the difference between "things fall down" and "mass exerts a force, and things will 'fall' toward the center of mass" then they'll naturally be repulsed by "you can't be racist against whites."
Also, remember there were kids in the wild west and in the depression and in the dust bowl. Kids are resilient and can grow up fast. Don't baby them into their 30s.

Thank you for this.
This is good advice for new parents right now.
