Critical thinking skills should be taught and practiced at all levels of education. An online course available for everyone for free would nice too.

Everything else we've been doing. Calling out bullshit when we see it, explaining why it's wrong and how it's being used to manipulate people.

Isn't this is a risk with teaching anything anywhere? The good news is that it'll be a lot easier for students to catch issues with how they're being educated when they can think for themselves and are trained in how to catch bad arguments.
