Critical Thinking in the Face of Political Misinformation
A retired public education professional with a skepticism towards big government systems applied critical thinking by writing her own curriculum when she distrusted the existing one. She devoted her free time to learning about local politics and critically evaluated statements made by various election deniers. Despite hearing misleading claims by individuals such as Mark Cook on voting machine security and Jim Marchant on election officials, she remained vigilant by considering credible sources like the settlement between Fox News and Dominion regarding misinformation. She demonstrated critical thinking by listening to Trump's election denialism and recognizing the polarizing and unsupported nature of his statements.
