Adults should be taught to think logically first, then they can teach the children.
The problem with the idea that logical thinking will dispel conspiracy thinking is that conspiracy is the norm. Of regime changes in the 21st Century more than half were the result of a coup. Crypto AG was a CIA front. Cigarettes are bad for you. (I could go on giving examples all day. All. Day.)
Symbolic logic will not save us from conspiracy for the simple reason that conspiracy is everywhere. Those that think otherwise are ignoring evidence or non-rational.

Application of symbolic logic to human psychology reveals that human motivations form a DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) that tops out in deep and profound spiritual states. (E.g. I do A to achieve B which results in C that in turn engenders profound bliss.)
It turns out that most human activity is yak-shaving and, strictly speaking, unnecessary.
That's how you use symbolic logic to defeat misunderstanding and make life better.
