"Question authority" was one of the things I remember learning as I was growing up. I read the consequences of not questioning when I read about the Eichman trial, My Lai, Watergate, others.
I try to teach that as I teach math. Just because I say something is true, if I cannot defend it, do you believe it?
In other words, think for yourself.
I have more trouble with this than with anything else.
I sometimes feel like I am teaching lemmings.
Apparently others feel the same.
