Lanny, I teach specifically to disavow misinformation, and give my students the tools to figure out things or themselves in a truly non-partisan way. I'm doing my part, but I've also had students that will not listen to reason no matter what I say, and what's worse, they've complained to my Dean to try and get me fired. There is no helping some people, and anyone who is still on the fence is just doing so to get attention. It's not because they can't discern disinformation from real information, it's because they're sad attention whores.
