Read "The Fallacy Detective: Thirty-Eight Lessons on How to Recognize Bad Reasoning" with them. It's a great primer on how to spot bad logic and information THEY WILL NOT GET IN SCHOOL. You'll enjoy it, too.

Watch out. It backfired on us at the dinner table when our kids would ask a question we didn't want to answer and subtly changed the topic. "Dad, that's a red herring." They learn fast. :)

Nah. You did a good job raising them with good bullshit detectors. Even if it does keep you on your toes.

Thank you for this. Id like for this site to have a reading list including the books written by communists and socialists so that we know the enemy. Also how to protect our kids from college, schools, the media, celebrities, and woke athletes.
