More details from petition creator

Critical Thinking is an essential skill, providing a mental tool-kit to help the thinker tell fact from fantasy. It is also a skill which is sadly lacking within the general population. We have it within our power to arm the next generation against quacks, frauds and charlatans by teaching critical thinking in British schools. Educate our children today so they won't be taken for gullible fools tomorrow by internet scammers, bogus medical treatments, magical thinking or confirmation bias.
