This way it always ends with "Well, schools have to teach that, too". While critical thinking surely is something schools should teach, for the foreseeable future there will be an underclass and we should take some intermediate steps.

There are some media types less dependent on money, which seem to work better. I think we should think about ways to expand their audience.
