Introductory logic should be a requirement in schools
If it's important we learn basic math and English and science, we really should make mandatory that people learn logic and what logical fallacies are.

Schools should teach you how to think for yourself and question what you don't understand. Schools should not teach you what to think, or how to apply it. A good teacher teaches in such a way that you want to know more, and that moves you to ask questions and explore all possibilities.

@basilfawlty89: true, but logic can't be learned if you're not interested, or ready to grasp why it matters. A student has to want to learn in order for logic to sink in.

Sure, but that could be said about math too. It's still an essential thing to learn.
@basilfawlty89: that's true indeed.
