Or, perhaps restore training in the Scientific Method. A root of the growing divide between Left and Right is that neither party realizes how easily falsified their claims are. Scientists realize that they are wrong almost always, and that when they are right, their hypothesis is usually very narrowly defined. If people were trained to realize that they were almost always wrong by the time they reached 6th grade, you’d see a lot more openness to debate, and far fewer entrenched positions - and much more liberty allowed by/to everyone, I think. Presently, kids exit grade school pretty much believing that they are pretty much “right” in everything they believe. This is tragically false, and a foundation for a lifetime of deep disappointment.
